What would college be without student bands? Whitworth's residence halls have always proved a breeding ground for student musicians, and some acts have gone on to produce popular albums and tour the country after graduation. The university continues to be home to student groups that play in a variety of musical styles, ranging from rock and pop to reggae and folk and everywhere in between.
