INTERRUPTIONS For students looking to hang out and experience new styles of music, Cedarville had just the thing. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, Interruptions showcased the musical talents of Cedarville students and gave aspiring musicians a chance to perform in front of a live audience. "I love playing Interruptions," said senior Taylor Valarik, who played his eighth and final feature Interruption in February. "They're super chill, your friends come out and support you, and it's awesome to be able to be creative and play the kind of music you want, in any style you want." Valarik performed with his fiancé, Rachel Lee. Levi Crowley, a senior, played three Interruptions. He said,"Many people approach Interruptions as a concert, but I prefer to think of it as an opportunity to make music and hang out with friends." Styles ranged from acoustic to bluegrass to rap. Some students performed by themselves or in a duo, while others played in a large band. Musicians performed original songs as well as covers of favorite or well-known artists. Alison McQuarry began writing songs over the summer, and after performing at some coffee shops,she decided to share her music by playing an Interruption. "It was a lot of fun getting to play for my friends!" she said. Brandon Oliger enjoyed performing with a group, playing original songs as well as a lot of classic rock. He even took requests from the audience. Each Interruption was a unique experience, always something new, and, above all, a great way for Cedarville students to enjoy each other's musical talents. With a coffee or smoothie from Rinnova, some homework, and a group of friends, the Hive was the best place to spend a relaxing weeknight. en 1 Studen area "Hearing and enjoying other students play is fun and highly enco aging.
