preferred balloons some appreciated the new concept of planting trees instead planting these trees meant leaving a permanent mark at this school for future classes to remember the class of 2010 it was also a way to help out our environment balloons are a ton of fun but i m glad our class planted trees because that gives us something memorable to look back on and it was cool since we got to help out

for some it s those beats that keep you moving for others it s sensational and inspiring lyrics no matter what ones hangup is they are guaranteed to have a favorite band seventeen year old molly kaylynn gunter entertainment editor wilson s favorite band is a christian band named third day that sends strong messages through their lyrics and empowering musical qualities the message that they put into their music can be for any age and it applies to everyone said molly they sing about everything including heart break faith and strength third day has had hits such as by his wounds and call my name erika giles 15 said that her favorite artist was beyonce a top r&b/hip-hop singer she said that beyonce has great beats that just get you moving and dancing in your seat or as you walk around with her first solo album dangerously in love released in 2003 beyonce has been a top artist ever since some of her recent hits are single ladies put a ring on it and if i were a boy erika s favorite song is brown eyes because it s a really good love song about how each time she looks into this guy s brown eyes she sees all the love he has for her christina geldert 15 said her favorite band is cute is what we aim for a rock power pop band she thinks in order for a band to be good they need inspirational lyrics or catchy tunes if they don t have either they won t make a very good band cute is what we aim for is such a great band because their songs have meaningful lyrics and can always put [her in a better mood their first album was titled the same old blood rush with a new touch in 2006 and continued to hit the top 200 charts my favorite song is `lyrical lies because its lyrics mean a lot and basically say you shouldn t always believe what people say and just believe in yourself and how you want to live your life it s a very pretty song added christina a few of these bands may be unheard by most of the population so try listening to them and give them a shot they are someone else s favorite band and with a little research and experiment they could be everyone s favorite band too this great music is just a click away why not check it out?
