What Are Students and Faculty Listening to During the Holiday Season?

If you are anything like me, you probably associate certain songs, albums, and artists with certain seasons or periods of your life. Music is an important part of many people's daily lives, so over this week, I decided to find out what fellow Vestavia Hills High School students and faculty are listening to. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the answers I received from interviewing people from multiple grades and classes. Each answer I got was unique and interesting. Personally, I really enjoy listening to Mazzy Star or Tears for Fears in the fall time, and Frank Sinatra when it gets closer to Christmas.

Here are all of the responses I got. Most people had songs they associated with fall, while some found it easier to relate songs to winter or Christmas time. Either way, many are already in the Christmas mood. In conclusion, here is the final result of my interviewing my peers.
