For decades, music has been part of campus life at Monmouth\u2014from Springfest stages to touring acts, student shows, and the songs that carried through dorm rooms, car rides, and late-night hangs. So what was your show? The one that surprised you, shaped your taste, or stayed with you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
