WPAA

Friday, May 29th 2009. WPAA rocked the Andover campus to the core, hosting this year’s Battle of the Bands in the Den. It was a great show and the bands showed some serious talent. When the dust settled, Andover’s famed Seven Layer Crunch Wrap Supreme reigned supreme and recieved a stunning trophy. It was a fantastic night!

Special thanks goes out to everyone who helped set up, run, judge, and clean up!

Battle of the Bands 2009 marked the end of programming for WPAA for the 2008-2009 school year. Be sure to check back in next year for even better programming and shows brought to you by WPAA. If you’re interested in being a part of WPAA, let us know!

Hey Listeners!

As school winds down, exciting events are few and far between. There is still hope, however! Battle of the Bands is this Friday on the steps of Sam Phil!

We’re bringing you great bands from all over PA, including:

Four Corners

And others…

There’ll be music, fun, friends, and more! We’ll also be selling newly designed WPAA t-shirts at $15 each, so be sure to bring some cash and become part of the WPAA community!

Hey All,

Last week, we at WPAA broadcasted for the first time a student band live over the radio. This was a major success for us in the studio and for those who put it together. It went flawlessly   as the band played on Will Falk-Wallace’s “PA’s got Soul” radioshow. The band played great and will be strutting their stuff at Battle of the Bands on Friday, May 29th. Keep your eyes open for more information on that!

Thanks go out to Matt Appleby and David Janovsky who devoted a serious amount of time to setting Studio B up and recording the music.

As we get back on our feet, be sure to tune in.

Let there be light!… or at least a new wpaa.com. As a part of the revival of Phillips Academy Radio, we’ve upgraded to a shiny new website! Exciting, isn’t it! It will offer up to date, helpful, and interesting information from the studio, including weekly schedules and more. In the future, we hope wpaa.com will be a valuable source of information, with things like campus news, weekend events, sports scores, etc.

Why a new website? As we discovered, the old website was difficult to manage and most importantly, difficult to update. To fix this, we’ve switched our website to WordPress, which will make bringing you the information you want easier. You can thank Carl Jackson ’09 for the beautiful theme.

What about all the cool downloads from the old website? Don’t worry, they’re still around—just visit http://old.wpaa.com. As we continue to update the new website we hope to move it all here, but for now the old website will be the source of all that.

Do you have any questions about the new site? Either comment on this post, or send me an email at rdean@andover.edu
