For the final day of the Fine Arts Festival, a capella group Radius sang their hearts out. Radius was formed during the pandemic doing virtual content and now travels the U.S. to perform live.

They started the hour performing “As It Was” by Harry Styles. They then transitioned into a melody of Justin Bieber songs. Some of the songs they performed were Justin’s earlier hits such as “Baby” and some of his later hits such as “Sorry.”

Gabe and Sam then stood on the stage alone to teach the crowd how to make instrument sounds with their mouths like they do. Sam is a pro at this as it sounds like a real instrument is being played even though none are used.

Radius then performed One Direction’s “Night Changes” much to the delight of the audience. A boy band singing another boy band’s music is always going to be a hit. After they finished that song they sang “Style” by Taylor Swift and ended the hour with “About D*mn Time” by Lizzo.

Radius was incredibly fun to watch, and the energy in the room was great. The crowd was loud as they sang their hearts out. “They were the best of the day,” senior Natalie Serna said. “The music they chose to sing was super good.”
