La Honda Music Camp – July 23 to July 30, 2011

Camp highlights include: Wind Ensemble and Concert Bands, Full and String Orchestras, Jazz Bands and Jazz Improvisation.
Testimonial by senior Harmony Chua: “If you asked me five years ago, I would have told you that La Honda is the traditional band-geek, orch-dork, choir-kid, hokey-pokey summer music camp as well as the place in which I’d feel most uncomfortable. This is 2011 howevver, and my opinion is roughly the same except now I consider it the place in which I feel most at home.”
Prices may vary.
Academy of Art University Summer Program, San Francsico

Testimonial by senior Sandy Frank: “Each of my classes were in a different part of the city. Many of my classes only had about 10-15 kids in them, so everyone had a chance to talk with their teachers one-on-one… Another pro: some restaurants give you discounts if you flash them your AAU ID Card!”

Cazadero Music Camp, July 26 to August 6, 2011

Testimony by senior Conor Stanton: “There’s a certain magic about ‘Caz’ … You can enjoy taking chamber music and conducting classes, or simply enjoying the outdoors and take a break by doing arts & crafts or playing sports. What I love about ‘Caz’ is everyone’s enthusiasm about music, but there was never a competitive aspect … If you love music, love making friends, and enjoy sleeping under the stars and want a most memorable experience, this is the place for you.”

System of a Down returns from four-year hiatus: Shoreline Amphitheatre Concert Review by Daniel Fu
The System of a Down concert last Sunday proved that they still have what it takes to excite the crowd despite their four-year hiatus.
Gogol Bordello, the opening band, surprised those in the crowd who were unfamiliar with them by dishing out a powerful blend of punk rock and novel sounds of electric violin and accordion.
After a brief intermission, System of a Down went right into their first song, “Prison Song,” without even lowering the curtains, casting a silhouette of their figures on the blank cover. The band continued to play 27 more songs, a set list which included every single released to date, except those from the newest album, which did not get any airtime that night.
While the songs were played fluently, and with almost no mistakes, it was disappointing to note the lack of differences between the live performance and the album. The only major differences were the beginning of the song “Cigaro,” which was sung by band member Daron Malakian in a much slower, almost serenade-like tune, and a more abridged version of their famous single, “Toxicity.”
Overall, the night was jam-packed with energetic performances and multiple crowd-engaging moments. Despite the limitations of lawn seating at the Shoreline, the band delivered a performance worth remembering.
“PEACE OUT!” – Janice Pang
