blended into the background of the music,” said Brooke Wunder, vice president of Mainstreet. “With a cappella, it’s more like you and the music.” The Mountain Horns is a purely tenor and bass group currently headed by Tim Costello, who also acts as president and one of three music directors. In an effort to round out the selection of groups on campus, Costello has helped other groups develop. He encouraged Miller to create Mosaic,
After a great showing on both sides of the ball against Western Illinois, the Rams look to build off their blowout victory as they travel to Arkansas to take on the Razorbacks. Although the University of Arkansas is an SEC team, the Rams are familiar with the Razorbacks, as they picked up a 34-27 comeback victory against the Hogs last season. Last year’s match up resulted in the Rams coming back from an 18-point second half deficit to defeat the Razorbacks in front of their home crowd. The Rams were unable to establish the run game for a full 60 minutes against the Razorbacks, and Head Coach Mike Bobo put an emphasis on balancing the offensive attack this season. “Our run game was nonexistent until that last drive (that) we spit out one run on the zone,” Bobo said. “We talked about that (Tuesday). We’ve got to find ways to run the ball; it might not be your traditional ways, and that’s the way we’ve been doing it for the first two weeks. ... Non-traditional stuff with Dante Wright, I think we’re going to continue to do that.”

Colorado State University a cappella groups make their voices heard By Graham Shapley @shapleygraham
As the fall semester comes into full swing, many clubs at Colorado State University are marching to their own beat. Some of these clubs prefer to perform with something of a self-imposed challenge: the only instruments allowed are their voices. A cappella is a style of music performance categorized by the absence of traditional musical instruments, opting instead to utilize vocals, beatboxing and any other
sounds that can be made with the mouth and lungs. “I think what separates (a cappella) from instrumental music is that it’s the voice that’s given to you,” said Alex Miller, a musical education major who is working to start up a new group, Mosaic A Cappella. “You’re born with it. Everybody can sing. It’s not just a talent you’re born with; everybody can do it.” CSU hosts many a cappella groups in all sorts of vocal ranges, from the low tenors and basses all the way up to the higher sopranos
and altos. “It’s definitely just so much fun,” said Isabel Heiland, current president of Mainstreet A Cappella. “There is so much more freedom than in a choir, and you can do lots of fun dance moves. I also think it does train your ear almost as well as a professional choir.” A lot of modern a cappella takes a less traditional route than the more formal choir, which is likely why it has landed such a big role in popular culture and on college campuses alike. “In a school choir, you feel more
