U of A Spring Fling canceled again, local bands playing in Bear Down Music Festival

TUCSON, Ariz. — For decades, students at the University of Arizona gathered each spring on the University Mall for a carnival fundraiser.

This year, Spring Fling won't be held on the University Mall. It hasn't happened for five years. Instead, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, or ASUA, is putting on the inaugural Bear Down Music Festival. "I kept hearing about it and it made me more and more excited for this Spring Fling," Belcher said."So when it finally got to my senior year, I was like 'is this going to happen? I'm about to leave. This is it.'""At the time, I was like this could be a concession," Belcher said. "But then I started to think more about what that could be and as a musician, I think maybe they should just keep it this way.

They're playing again this year alongside another local band, Desert Child, rapper Redveil and pop band Coin."We're going to play some of our new songs," he said, with his band mates nodding in agreement on either side of him. They're releasing a self-produced album soon.
