It\u2019s the first concert of the 2016 season, and I can\u2019t think of a better way to enjoy our beautiful campus in the summer! Concerts on the Green will be on Fridays and Saturdays from 5-7pm until the end of July.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/campus-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/06\/35196666423_17213fa47c_k.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3463\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/campus-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/06\/35196666423_17213fa47c_k.jpg\" alt=\"The concert stage set up outside the PAC on campus.\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/campus-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/06\/35196666423_17213fa47c_k.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/campus-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/06\/35196666423_17213fa47c_k-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/campus-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/06\/35196666423_17213fa47c_k-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/campus-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/06\/35196666423_17213fa47c_k-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/campus-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/06\/35196666423_17213fa47c_k-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not really into music, I still highly encourage you to attend! It\u2019s a great opportunity to open yourself up to something new without any cost to you.<\/p>\n<p>So, you\u2019re not a fan of jazz? Then you <strong>should<\/strong> definitely attend nights like Saturday, June 25 that feature jazz bands and music you are not particularly attuned to. Fully immersing yourself in a fun environment with live music you aren\u2019t used to will give you a greater appreciation for different styles of music.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in early high school I used to only like mainstream pop music. But when my older sister began driving me to school I was forced to listen to alternative rock in her car every day. Even though I definitely did not start out as a fan of her style of music, I ended up loving it and now that\u2019s pretty much all I listen to.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you don\u2019t know what you really like until you try it a few times.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m so happy to be spending my summer in Winona for many reasons \u2013 one definitely being Concerts on the Green. Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re like me, then you appreciate food, music and trying new things.
