"TIMOTHY ROBERT EVAN JOHNSON... THAT'S IT! I'M TAKING AWAY
YOUR MUSIC FOR A WEEK!"

"A whole week? But Mommmm!"

"No butts Timmy, now hand over the Cd's."

"awwwww man."

(Timothy angrily hands
over his CD collection, stomps to his room, and slams his door shut.)

Remember that? It happened to all of us. They took away our
music. Our Hanson, our 'N Sync, our Blink 182... gone. They had the power.

Not anymore.

Now the music is in our hands. Channel that 14 year-old,
zitty, awkward, and cargo pant wearing tween inside of you and fight back for
all the times you went to bed without your Blackstreet. Fight to keep Summer
Concerts at Northrop!

If we don't take a stand, we will lose funding for the summer
concert series that showcases the best local talent. Almost daily, the Northrop
Plaza is filled with good music, good eats, and good times. But if we don't
come together and speak out to save the summer, campus will be barren.

group and sign your name to show support! It's time to take back the tunes and
keep the music alive.
