Day 3

Last night we finally had our Mardi Gras and it was a lot of fun. Before it was about to start, we sent two of our members out around campus to do some last minute advertising. One of the guys was riding a bicycle and the other was riding a 5 ft tall unicycle. They both carried beads around there necks and threw them at any and all students that they passed and invited them to come to the party. After the party began, the DJ we hired blared music from 8 o’clock until midnight. As I watched all the people in attendance, I started noticing that during certain songs everyone would flock to the dance floor and during certain songs they would all leave the dance floor. The media pervasiveness impressed me because everyone in attendance seemed to know the majority of the songs and which particular songs are fun to dance to and which songs are not. Because of the constant bombardment from the radio, CDs, and the internet, everyone seemed to be familiar with the same types of music.
