As bands like fooligan, Hunter Cox & The Big League Boys, sack lunch!, Montclair and Rococo Disco projected out into Fountain Mall, the ears of those in the crowd were met with colorful rock and indie tunes. Not far off, more music sounded at the SUB Bowl stage, hosting bands and artists like SUNNN, Braden Black, Secondhand Son and Brother Boy.

This year’s musical act is somewhat different from last year’s, when Apollo LTD headlined on Fountain Mall. Whaley, the drummer for Sunnn, said Baylor’s decision to highlight student and local bands instead of outsourcing the music, is a blessing and feels like a nod to their talent.
