Come hear this eclectic group make music like you’ve never experienced it before. Plastic Musik will perform at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 15, in the Club ballroom.

Created in Roanoke, Virginia in 2002 by well-known artist/musician Jeremy Price, the production and evolution of Plastic Musik started with five core cast members and a tremendous amount of rehearsal time. Now, many years in the making, Plastic Musik has been recognized by some of their biggest peers in the music world and grown into multiple performance avenues, stronger cast members (making the project expandable into a nine man performance ensemble) and even showcasing a live backing band.

In 2008 Plastic Musik relocated itself to Las Vegas, NV, effectively becoming one of the most sought after eclectic performance troops in the entertainment industry. Performing styles ranging from complex classical selections, progressing to Motown classics, into everything from 1980’s movie themes to intense original compositions, Plastic Musik will bring a smile to your face and entertainment to your ears, all while giving the crowd a visually stimulating stage show.Here’s what people are saying about Plastic Musik:

“Utilizing traditional percussion techniques infused with a non-traditional blend of all-plastic instruments, while featuring a revolutionary new product called “Boomwhackers” (www.boomwhackers.com), this extremely versatile group of musicians/percussionists continue to mesmerize audiences of all ages, demographics and varied interests, both musician and non-musician alike, with their energetically explosive, melodic approach to rhythm.”

– James Alt, Club Critique Magazine“Being featured entertainers on network television, professional sporting events, theme

parks, major corporate events and colleges (for education & performance) throughout the United States, is just a national introduction for Plastic Musik on their way to interna-tional success.”

– Marty Williamson, Curb Bender Promotions

Whitewater rafting is an exhilarating expe-rience. You’ll be laughing with excitement the whole time. Tourists and adventure seekers are drawn to the Arkansas River, one of the most rafted rivers in the U.S.

Located in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, the Arkansas River offers both heart-pounding adventures and beautiful, scenic floats. If you’ve never gone rafting, chasing whitewater can feel like a cross be-tween riding a roller coaster and riding a bucking bronco. But there is also time to look up at steep hills and cliffs, maybe spot a bighorn sheep, turn your face to the sun.

Just two raft trips this month. A half-day trip is $65 and offered Saturday, July 21; our full-day trip on Saturday, July 7, is $100.

For more information and to sign up, call Outdoor Recreation at 719-556-4867, Option #1. Or visit them in Bldg. 640.
