Sound Clash for the month of December

An episode about studying felt appropriate given the time of year

Cameron Vakili, Gavin Vernon, and Aiden Garrigan • December 19, 2024

The month of December can often be a stressful time for high school students. Finals are often at the front of one’s mind, and the added stress can be difficult to cope with. Music can often be a good coping mechanism, and for this month’s Sound Clash, “study songs” was selected as the theme of choice. BT English instructor Dr. Low agreed to join us for this episode, as well as sophomore Charlie Dencklau.

We hope you enjoy the episode!
