On a campus where it is difficult to form a habit to recycle for the scarcity of resources, a competition like this is another tool to train students to recycle and keep it fun as well.

The biggest benefit (is)?that a competition allows people to ask questions about recycling without any hang-ups. They have a stake in it, they have ownership in it, so they are going to inform themselves about it.

We view Earth Day as another way to inform students about the progress we have made with our environmental measures on campus and in the community. But (we view it) also as a way to celebrate a great year with some great music, fun activities and hopefully a new appreciation for the environment.

We're coming up against teams that should be better competition for us. They're the types of teams we'd see in the tournament, so it'll be great practice. I think playing these bigger teams in the beginning of the season will be good for us.

The term 'friendly competition,' we definitely put good use to it. Best-friendly competition. Put best friends first, of course, and then it's competition second.

Only become a musician if there is absolutely no other way you can make a living
