Since early April, students have circled their calendars for this upcoming weekend to attend the Dave Mathews Band concert. Throughout the spring and summer, a variety of concerts will be occurring and will be popularly attended because of both the music and the party. This raises the question, are the concerts just a four hour party or two hours to enjoy the live performance?
“Who’s Dave?” junior Grayson Cordes replied…
If you think handwritten cards, cookies, or gifts are too cliché for your friend’s birthday, there is another way to demonstrate how much you care- Critter Yard Cards. Critter Yard Cards are eight-foot tall wooden cutouts of characters from various movies and television shows. Attached to the character is a message that is personalized to read “Happy 18th Birthday Sam!” or “Happy Sweet Sixteen Olivia!” Over the course of this school year, this product has really taken hold among students, as barely a day goes by without Spongebob, Homer Simpson, or Bugs Bunny adorning the entrance to the parking lot.
Junior Dan LoRusso had a possible explanation for the trend. “I think that after a lot of people saw them they liked the idea more and wanted to do it for their friends,” he said.

Every time I go to the stadium, I can’t help but question if it was really worth it. As you walk by on one side of the street, you see an absolutely beautiful $1.5 billion mecca of baseball, while on the other side of the street, you see the old stadium looming, empty and silent. How can your heart not wrench when you see one of the greatest baseball stadiums of all time in neglect?

On Wednesday, May 26, the girls tennis team clinched their first FCIAC championship since 2006. The girls faced the Greenwich Cardinals, who they previously beat 4-3 earlier in the season. Their regular season victory broke the Cardinals’ three year, 83-match undefeated record. Confidence from that match fueled the Rams to beat Greenwich in the FCIAC final, 5-2. “I was very confident with our team coming into this match,” Head Coach Gail Overbeck said. “With the way our singles players have been playing in addition to our first doubles, I would be surprised if they didn’t win their matches.”

On Wednesday night, the Detroit Tigers’ Armando Galarraga needed 28 outs for his perfect game. However, his outstanding performance will not go down in the record books as the 21st perfect game in MLB history nor will he join the ranks of Dallas Braden and Roy Halladay as the third pitcher to throw a perfect game this season.
