With Halloween on Wednesday, there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate the spirit of the holiday all around Happy Valley this extra-long weekend. Here is a schedule of all the monstrous live music that will be trumpeting in All Hallows' Eve at Penn State.
I'll admit it. I had extremely low expectations when I downloaded Fight On State, the new iPhone game developed by Penn State senior and Blue Band trumpeter Max Besong yesterday.

Tonight, SOMA and Roustabout! will be hosting one of their biggest acts, the Dum Dum Girls, live at Chronic Town with opening act, Dead Channel. The show will start at 9pm and costs $15 at the door.
Punk rockers Mayday Parade and The Maine took over a packed Alumni Hall on Saturday. In their first Penn State appearance since the 2010 Movin' On Festival, Mayday Parade put on an upbeat show that will not be forgotten anytime soon.
Three years ago, Students Organizing the Multiple Arts (SOMA) gathered a group of musicians to play on campus bus routes. Named after the Keyboard Cat viral video, The Keyboard Catas, however, jump on the Blue and White loops with guitars and drums to some play music. This year, they played "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind, "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes, and "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Their goal is to get people to join in and hopefully spread some cheer to people's bus rides.
