A conglomeration of styles definable by an excess of genre titles, local late-night musical sensation Jip Jop features technically-versed musicians trained by the Jacobs School of Music and influenced by old-school cassettes. Frontman Ben Gershman holds it down with concise, percussive rapping, spitting words faster than a clicking bicycle gear, with seamless transitions to melodic singing smoother than syrup. Ryan Imboden on trumpet and Davis Jones on saxophone come together to form the horn section, while the rhythm section is composed of Bobby Wooten on the five-stringed bass and Matt Margeson on the kit. Ben Bolasny on keys applies years of classical and jazz expertise to pull the whole orchestration together for local bar appearances and house parties.

The stress of finals week didn’t conclude with tests for some. Though the scholastic buildings weren’t in the spirit they were just a few days ago, Bloomington was at work. Students and parents crowded residence halls and packed vehicles with two semesters full of early college experience.
Although final exams occupied most of students’ time during the last week of school, moving out of apartments and residence halls also ate away at the final days of the semester. While some students opted to donate unwanted furniture from their apartments, others decided to leave it on their lawns.
