There’s no question about it. ��ο��Ƶ has got talent. And that was proved once again at the annual spring talent show Acousta, formerly known as AcoustaRockaRappaPalooza by ��ο��Ƶ students of an earlier era. At Acousta the entire student body gathers to enjoy the remarkable talents from across campus.��

Among the talents featured this year were multiple solo artists, two singing groups representing the genres of acoustic and R&B, a musical trio playing instrumentals of several different recognizable rock/pop tunes, and a comedian.�� Although the overall tone of Acousta remained fun and upbeat, it ended on a solemn note with an original piano piece from senior Juliano Maglio about death and the human response to it, a reminder that the student body is still healing from the death of a fellow student in a traffic accident during spring break.

The show gained very positive reception from junior Pearce Whitaker, a Music major.

“Even though most of the acts were strictly musical, the show felt more diverse than it had in previous years,” said Whitaker.��“It definitely felt more somber this year … certainly an interesting tone departure.”��
