Music of the High School Years

During the High School Era, there was a change of music that was being played at your school Dances.  If you recall, the DJ will play too many hip hop tracks than upbeat dance tracks.  If you want to listen to Hip Hop, you should listen to it as you drive through the Car Wash

If you do not recall the memories of elementary School, Let's Click Here and Enjoy.

Grade IX

When I was in Grade 9, I listened to great tunes on Energy 108, 107.9 FM.  There was a great 20 minute street mix known as the 9:00 Hard Drive.  This Street Mix featured hard tunes like Insomnia, and more.  There was a few time stretch tracks in the mix too.

Here is a quick Rundown of some tracks I loved from the Grade 9 era.
