ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

New fall TV shows hope to win viewers

Kate Ferris /Columnist

On the evening of September 21, the Elon campus will seem eerily quiet, with few students in sight.

This eeriness can be attributed to only one thing–in dorm rooms and apartments everywhere, students will gather for one of the biggest events of the year: the return of “Grey’s Anatomy.”

“Grey’s Anatomy,” the surprise hit from two seasons ago, is one of the most highly anticipated returning shows, along with “Lost,” “Desperate Housewives,” “The O.C.” and “The Office.”

 ‘People Living’ offers insight into human emotion

For an album that covers a wide spectrum of human emotion, “People Living” is quite an appropriate title. From the softer sound of “In the Grey” to the politically charged “Revolution,” Sam Fisher explores those emotions that seem to connect us to life.

Elon’s marching band, The Fire of the Carolinas, will perform their halftime show for the first time this season on Saturday in Rhodes Stadium during the first home football game.

The show, titled “The Music of Motown,” features the music of Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and the Temptations. Songs include hits from the 70s like “I Wish,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Stop in the Name of Love” and “Fever.”
