A different rhythm was heard across Liberty University

From Leaf's power pop to Circadian Rhythm's melodic rock, campus musicians took holdof God'scommand inPsalm66:1 to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord."

Itmay not have been the Southern gospel sound that Lynchburg was familiar with hearing,but the message and goalswere thesame."Ourpurposeisto reachpeoplewiththe love of the Lord," said Tad Agoglia from Peculiar People

Many campus bands had greatopportunitiestoministerto others TheUpperRoom was the hosttoTheMartinaires,Dorothy Hill,and Knappy amongothers. PeculiarPeopleplayed for high schoolyouthgroups, and Circadian Rhythm planned to move beyond Lynchburg toother colleges and to other audiences.

Perhaps the best partabout it all was not found inthemusic, orthe people, but ina God who took pleasure seeing the college students singing for Him
