As summer winds down, students everywhere trade their beach bags for book bags and get back into the daily grind of school.

 Along with saying farewell to the beach, students all around must part ways and say a bitter goodbye to the 2015 summer concert-festival season. However, not without one final rally.

 On August 29, 2015, Merriweather Post Pavilion opened its doors to a throng of music lovers for Trillectro. Trillectro was a one-day only hip-hop and electronic music festival with Chance the Rapper and RL Grime headlining the event.

 Festivals thrive off the energy of the crowd, and junior Jackie Lee said, “you could sense the feeling of euphoria everywhere you went.”

 Not only does the vibe of a festival feed off the energy of the crowd, the performing artists do as well. While working the event, senior Jaylen DeCarlo observed that the artists “played songs that not only excited the audience but electrified the atmosphere in the venue.”
