STAC Rock

By Vincent Walker

On the 1st of April at 8 pm, a concert was held on the front lawn of St. Thomas Aquinas College.  The concert was performed by student bands, some whom were accompanied by staff members as band members.

Setup began in the middle of the day with a portable stage that looked like a trailer, until it was unfolded.  This event gave students a reason to get out and enjoy the warmer weather of Spring on a fun evening. It also gave the “STAC band” members the chance to express their passions in front of fellow students.

The event was free, however, donations were encouraged as all proceeds from the concert donations went to the Rockland shelter for the abused as part of St Thomas Aquinas College’s campaign against violence. The donations, as explained by band members, were to be used for helping victims of domestic abuse have better lives. This was a great and successful school event because it let students have fun while at the same time coming out for a great cause.

The student concert stood out over many previous St. Thomas Aquinas College events because this one was quite unique and fun rather then a mixer with a presenter in the Romano Center or a weekend bus trip into New York City when most students have to work; this event gave students a chance to have a fun Tuesday.
