‘Hummingbird' offers hint of spring to come

By Kyle McGoey | February 17, 2013

It's been a quiet winter in the music world. Perhaps the months after Christmas are the music industry's dog days of summer, those brutal days in July and August when all interesting sports have finished their seasons and the only sport on TV is regular season baseball. Maybe musicians and winter do not mix well, and all of our favorite bands are locked up in their lofts, waiting for spring to be sprung.

‘Dartmouth Idol' semis will feature 25 performers

By Marina Shkuratov | January 30, 2013

Dennis Ng / The Dartmouth Staff Tomorrow night, 25 of Dartmouth's most talented singers will gather in Spaulding Auditorium to face off in the semifinals of "Dartmouth Idol," a competition modeled after the popular TV show "American Idol." Six of these semifinalists will move on to compete in the finals, which are scheduled to take place in March. The semifinalists were chosen from a pool of 60 who auditioned, according to College Gospel Choir director Walt Cunningham, who is responsible for creating, producing and directing the show. Students were asked to perform a song of their choosing in front of a panel consisting of Cunningham, Hopkins Center student performance programs director Joshua Kol '93 and Kaitlyn Sheehan '09, a finalist in the 2009 "Dartmouth Idol" competition. The audition process also included an interview component that allowed the panelists to learn about the students' motivations for participating in the show. This year marks the largest number of students to advance to the semifinal round of "Dartmouth Idol" in recent history, Cunningham said.
