Free barbecue catered by Backyard BBQ, various booths sponsored by GHC clubs, a portable recording studio through Coyote on Campus and a live band--the Lloyd Dobler Effect--highlighted this year's Spring Fling.

The annual festivities took place at the Floyd campus on April 13 and at the Cartersville campus on April 14.

"Spring Fling is fantastic. There's great food, fun company and good music," said Leah Barton, general studies major from Rome.

The main event was when the amplifiers were turned up and the Lloyd Dobler Effect took stage to bring a great show to GHC students.

"The band was a good choice. They will definitely be on my iPod when I get home," said Allan Cole, psychology major from Rome.

Phil Kominski, vocalist and guitarist for the Lloyd Dobler Effect, explained that they love to play at colleges because students really get into their act. "Most schools are great to play at. They really get our name out there, and there is a good turnout," said Kominski.

"Spring Fling participation was a little down at the Floyd campus this year compared to previous years, and I will attribute a lot of that to weather and change of location," said John Spranza, director of student life. "Despite that, the event was a lot of fun. The Lloyd Dobler Effect is an awesome band."

Although Spring Fling events had to be moved inside at Cartersville as well, attendance was up compared to last year.

Spring Fling was the last major entertainment event sponsored by the Office of Student Life for this academic year, but activities will resume in the fall semester.
