When people think of art they may think of paintings and sculptures, but art is so much more than just the visual. Music is also an extremely dynamic art form.
Music is particularly popular with East students. The school's musical talent is practically dripping out of the school's leaky ceilings. There is one particular group at East that has been very successful: "The People Say Fox".
On Friday November 27th I attended one of the bands shows at the encounter. I had never heard the band play before and I was giddy with excitement. I'd heard nothing but good things about their music.
Before I could hear "The People Say Fox", I got to listen to three other bands from the Twin Cities. First was a group called "Skies Alive" that sounded much better on their CD than in person. They were followed by "First Class Failure", an acoustic duo with entertaining lighting effects. The third band was "The King and the Thief", and to me honest I didn't listen to them much.
Finally it was time for "The People Say Fox" to play. The minute they started to play I could tell why so many people loved them. It was obvious that their music was coming from the heart and they were passionate about it. I got goose bumps as they played.

I was not the only one getting that feeling. They were clearly one of the favorites of the night.
"I think it's great that Duluth has such great local musicians," said junior Greta Konkler.
I am now one of many "The People Say Fox" fans, and I can't wait to see even more of their shows and listen to their great music.
