If you roam the halls at LHS, you better hope you make it to class with more than a minute to spare, or else you will hear the same songs play over and over. The LHS staff uses these songs to push kids to get moving so they are not late to class

Over my last three years at LHS, I probably have heard around eight different songs play in the hallway. Eight, over three years. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great way to help me get to class on time, but it is the worst when I know what song is coming on. I find myself singing along to the “Big Time Rush” theme song every day, and last year it was “High Hopes.” 

I walk these halls hoping that I will make it to my class with a minute to spare so I do not have to listen to these songs on repeat. When I am not lucky enough to make it, I have to hear the same songs, and whenever I hope it will be a new one, I am let down.  Each day I get my hopes up and each day I get let down yet again.

 In order to escape from the same old songs, I have started to put my headphones to max volume so I don’t have to listen to them. I also like to talk to my friends when the music starts to play so I can drown out the loud obnoxious sound. But sometimes I am forced to listen to the music if I have no friends walking with me or my headphones are dead. I just have to live with the pain for that moment.

“I love listening to music in the hallways because it helps me relieve all the stress I have from the class before, and always listening to Big Time Rush gets annoying,” said junior Daniel Leslie.

 The LHS staff needs to add more to our song collection, and they need to come up with more entertaining ways to get us moving to class. But, maybe their plan is to get kids sick and tired of hearing the same music every day so they move faster in the hallways. 

LHS students may never know why we don’t play more music in the hallways, but for now, you can look forward to hearing the “Big Time Rush Theme Song”, “High Hopes”, and “Happy”.
