After CHS, the college era begins, and Dave Shoudy spots musical opportunites beyond Coronado's surrounding moat. Free SD Reader adds come in handy for the starving student, musician; and, Shoudy joins Tryax. Tryax performed covers and originals at all kinds of parties, The Poway Mine Company, weddings and other special events. And even won 1st in North County's Battle of the Bands that year. Although the group never performed locally in Coronado, a 4 cut recording was distributed widely among Islanders (Brian Mealy says he's still has his). Recorded at Circle Sound...was a 1st timer for all. Shoudy's 1st round as a paid performer.
