A band playing in the quad during the Champstock event

Students gathered (and danced) for CHAMPSTOCK, a one-day music festival on the Champlain College campus.

On Saturday, October 19, Finney Quad was jamming with music, music, and well, some more music.

Thanks to the ideation and organization from Computer & Digital Forensics major Garrett Mahoney ’20, Champlain College welcomed the first-ever CHAMPSTOCK to campus. Bands comprised of Champlain and University of Vermont student artists took to the stage between 12 and 6 PM for a full day of fun and tunes.
