Album Listening Club
“A club for lovers of all things music!” Is what this clubs slogan is! This club meets every Wednesday at 6 p.m. Students come together to discuss different albums from various artists and bands.

This is a great club for anyone looking for a laid-back environment to meet people who share a passion for music and understand the deeper meaning behind it.
