Recording and editing from the comfort of their homes, Seniors Jamie Fairchild, along with Peter Murphy and Norwalk Community College Freshman Stefan Broski, sit at a Mac as they touch up sound tracks and tweak solo parts. In a process that takes weeks, the three students rely on their ears to lead them in the right direction.

Sitting across from senior Nick Depuy effects your mood. His passion for music is unreal, his songs are nurtured with so much care its almost tangible, and of course we all know he can perform. His signature calm, nonchalant mood and 6’6’’ ambiance tells a story beyond the accomplished musician we all know and bet one day is going to make it big.

Settling down in a personal cubicle in the library’s quiet section, you reach into your backpack and grab the usual: pencils, paper, textbook. Then you see your iPod. This is the moment of truth. Do you need your music to study? You either grab the device or opt to leave it where it is; saving your listening time for when you’re running down South Avenue or lounging after school. For some, studying with music is a vital component.

When most students think of “band camp,” usually one of two scenarios emerge. The first being a clumsy but content marching band, clad in unflattering ruffles. The second, a certain scene from a certain nineties cult classic. However, it just so happens the Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI), junior Harrison Miller’s summer program of choice, does not meet any of these criteria. In fact, BUTI is the most prestigious summer orchestra program in the world. Under the guidance of the elite Boston Symphony Orchestra and other professionals, BUTI is an artistic haven, driven by the passion and skill of those who attend. From a 7:30 a.m. wake up everyday to many music-filled late nights, it’s really quite the experience.

Summer means a lot of things to a lot of people. For some, it’s a trip to a summer house in the boonies, and for others simply an escape from the demands of the school year. Summer, however, is universally accepted as a time to relax and enjoy oneself, and for many this comes in the form of summer concerts. Several students submitted their own summer concert experiences below.
