Later in the night, junior Kaitlyn Helm sings and plays her original song, "Find Me." In her first run of the song, Helm's microphone was off and she needed to start the song over. "I feel like the first time weirdly gave me a way to get comfortable in the space. I’m definitely someone who has struggled on stage with nerves in the past and on that second try I got to go in a lot more confident. I know what I’m doing, I know what things I want to tweak and I was one of the only people who could’ve heard it," Helm said.

In the opening credits, the title of the European Spanish version reads La Casa de Papel, translated in English to the house of paper, slang for house of money. When the show is English dubbed and subtitled, the title of the show is Money Heist. This presents one of the many inaccuracies or differences when presenting films and TV shows in a language different from the original, proving that languages should best be left alone to keep original intention.

Senior Kyla Davis sings with the Wednesday Jam Band as she looks to the audience. The band played "Angels Above Me" by Stick Figure. Davis contributes the success of the event to her audience and the environment. "It’s less nerve-wracking, there’s always going to be something that someone tells you to improve on but it’s not going to be in a harsh way," Davis said. "It’s just the perk of Coffee House, knowing everybody, supporting everybody and loving everybody. Everyone’s a big giant family."

After Cazembe's performance, guitar teacher Traci Bolton moves the piano away from center stage. Bolton chatted with the audience many times while she moved equipment, and even joked that she'll be starting her own gym with all of the moving that needed to take place. "It’s the venue. When you’re sitting at tables it’s a bunch more relaxed. It’s very much meant to be like a Coffee House where you’re five feet away from who you’re playing for. You can get a little more of the audience interaction," Bolton said.

As the second performance of the night, sophomore Mera Flores sings "Dream a Little Dream." Not only did Flores perform at Coffee House, she also is a member of the Lafayette Theatre Company (LTC) and played as Mrs. Peacock in the latest LTC play, "Classic Mystery Game."

As a vocalist for Tuesday Night Rock Band and Vox Solus, senior Jacob Goodman performs a solo song called "First Day of My Life" by Bright Eyes. After participating in the event as a sophomore, Goodman was excited to return and put a lot of preparation into learning his piece. "I just listened to the song over and over again until I could sing it. I think the words were definitely harder because a lot of them were similar but the guitar part was really static throughout the whole song," Goodman said. "It was a lot of fun, especially seeing people’s faces when you’re performing there. It’s probably the best part about it."

Seniors Christian Ikemeyer and Ava Austriaco play over the chords before Coffee House begins. The two are a part of the band Platonic Lovers, and they performed Olivia Rodrigo's "Jealousy, Jealousy" for the event. "I think it went really well, it was fun to see other talented Lafayette kids because I never really get to see others play," Ikemeyer said.

In addition to being a vocalist for Tuesday Night Rock Band, senior Zoe Rundquist sang and played the electric guitar in another act with junior Mira Walden and sophomore Owen Woody. The three played "Understand" by Greer, and Rundquist was glad to have the opportunity to hone on a craft that may assist her future. "I’m just doing as much as I can and I think it’ll be really fun and a good experience," Rundquist said. "I hope to be able to write my own music, that’s why I’m taking theory. I don’t think I’ll make a career out of it, but going in and trying to figure it out for myself is [important to me]."

As a Coffee House first, freshman Alex Getman puts on an act on rollerblades. Getman performed to the music of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme song, "He's a Pirate".

While playing piano, senior Surayya Cazembe sings to her audience. Cazembe performed "Mirror" by Madison Ryann Ward, the only piano piece showcased in the event.

Despite not having the full choir, members of Lafayette's a capella group Vox Solus sing "Penny Lane" by The Beatles. Junior Mackenna Glazer was a part of the group, and appreciated the event overall. "We could hear each other better, correct each other a bit. It was good," Glazer said. "It was more fun, like a [laidback] concert. The other ones are so formal but here we could chill, sit and cheer for each other."

Armed with vocals and an acoustic guitar, seniors Andrew Balice and Rachel Vishion perform "A-Team" by Ed Sheeran. This was Balice's first Coffee House event. "It was my first time playing guitar in front of people. I’ve played guitar for a really long time," Balice said. "Honestly I think Coffee House went great. Everyone did amazing because everyone has a ton of talent here."
