By Alex Bonus
Dried blood spatters the face and arms of 9-year-old Lydia Uhlar.

A jagged scar rips across her cheeks and lips, molding her mild grimace into a gruesome smile.  While red droplets trickle off her purple dress — tattered and torn — Uhlar’s demeanor turns serious.

By Eliza Jordan | gargoyle@flagler.edu

The Suwannee Park air was thick with a festival fog as people made their way through the muggy campsites. Bustles of festival-goers traveled in lit-up packs, decked out in glow sticks and head-dresses, gravitating toward the music of their choice. Whichever tune drew you near, you went. Whichever stage you felt like sitting at, dancing at, being apart of, you went.

For freshman TJ Kennedy, however, Mondays mean getting out of class around noon, dragging his drum kit — consisting of four toms, a snare, a bass drum, a cowbell, three cymbals and a high hat — from the third floor of Lewis House and rocking out on the West Lawn.
