After a live musical performance, students thought they would try their hand at a less realistic rock off.

Students gathered in the Courter Center late Thursday Nov. 19 to test their skills against one another and compete for a $25 gift card to Fareway in a "Guitar Hero" contest.

"Guitar Hero: Aerosmith" was the game and "Movin' Out" was the song. Students took turns playing through the song, one by one, trying to achieve the best score.

Max Rusch led off and set the bar extremely high with a score of 253,012. "It's the one videogame I'm good at so I figure I'd make some money," he said.

The second student up was Trevor Gould. Gould played well, but was unable to overcome Rusch's high score.

Brent Sobolik tested his skill but was booed off the virtual stage before the song could exit the intro. "Can't touch that, can't touch it. I'll be signing autographs later," Sobolik said jokingly as he turned to the crowd.

In the end, Rusch's score remained untouched and he walked away with the glory and the gift card to Fareway. "I'm going to go get some food," Rusch said as he collected his winnings.
