The Vox Box

The Band is still together…and still alive

"A high energy halftime show," : That's the promise made by Bruce Springsteen, the 'chosen one' for this Sunday's big game.

The Boss himself is leading the E Street Band through the famous mid-game 15-minute time slot, boots filled in previous years by other high-profile musicians such as U2, The Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and even Paul McCartney.

Do you think these guys will be some good entertainment for the Super Bowl? Who has been your favorite performer in past years?

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
