The spotlight shines on Music Outlet

BYU–Idaho rocked the night away at Music Outlet; on Monday 25, students performed self-composed music for a supportive audience.

Ever want to perform without the pressures of going through auditions? Ever want to test out song lyrics for a nice audience? Ever want to show off a little bit? Then come and experience Music Outlet, where students show off their skills in a low-key environment.

 “I thought it was pretty cool, it’s a great way for students to come express themselves,” said Marissa Thompson, a freshman studying art.

Each student brought something new to the table, some of the performers got the audience involved by having the audience clap and sing along. There were piano and guitar players, and solos from bands and singers.

Jaxon Arave, a freshman studying health science, said this was his second time performing at Music Outlet but his first time singing. “It is really cool… low-pressure involvement,” Arave said.

Music Outlet invites students every Monday night to the Kirkham auditorium from 9 to 10 p.m. to perform, listen and have fun. About 10 students get to perform per night.

Music Outlet has a very informal and relaxed environment. Students sign up on a chalkboard to perform. No auditions are necessary. Music Outlet can also be a place to meet students that share common interests in music. Come to perform, come to watch, come to support and come to enjoy.

“It is fun to see what your peers think about your songs,” said Isaac Potter, a sophomore studying political science. This was Potters second time performing at Music Outlet.

Music Outlet is a great place to be for a night of relaxation, fun, music and talent.
