Multi-roomaudio is a popular addition to homes today, withSonosbecoming a leadingname in the space. But it certainly isn't the only player in the game --Denon, a high-end component maker,also has a solution, and has now teamed with Spotify for additional functionality.

The HEOS system comes in three different models -- the HEOS 3, HEOS 5 and HEOS 7. Each is sized differently and ranges from high-end performance to portable. And now the system has Spotify built-in.

"With HEOS, you can stream Spotify in any room of your home. Listen to tracks directly from your phone, tablet, USB drives or home network. Just use the Spotify app as a remote and control your music anywhere", the streaming service states.

In addition,Denonhas introduced HEOS Amp and HEOS Link, which combine to turn existing speakers and stereo systems into wireless zones. That's a handy feature for retro-fitting existing items.

DenonHEOSdoesn't come cheap, but the company is a high-end product maker, so that likely isn't a surprise. You'll also need to put out the monthly fee for a Spotify Premium account, but it may be worth it for those who have the extra cash to spend.

Marching band uniforms are seen in basement storage as band Director Jennifer Currey exits the crowded area Aug. 19 at Champaign Central High School.

The overcrowding problems at Champaign Central and Centennial high schools have piled up over the years. Here's a small sample:

Central's band room: Room for 45. But 192? 'It's crazy.'

Built in 1956 as an addition to the school, Central's band room comfortably holds about 45 students. And that's without instruments, bands Director John Currey notes.

When it's just the choral students, he says, it's not bad. But bring in the whole orchestra, whose members require more space to move their upper torsos when they play their instruments, and things start to get tight. Add the wind students, and it's even snugger, he says.

And when you try to cram in the entire marching band 192 kids, plus instruments?

"It's maddening," Currey says.

Fort Lewis College freshman Dan McAuliffe of Hingham, Mass., plays the drums of his dorm roommate Andrew Cranmer of Fort Collins as the two move in to their dorm room Friday.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald

Fort Lewis College freshman Dan McAuliffe of Hingham, Mass., plays the drums of his dorm roommate Andrew Cranmer of Fort Collins as the two move in to their dorm room Friday.

This Thursday, Move-In Day again made for a tumultuous scene at Fort Lewis College.

Incoming freshmen lugged suitcases up to third-floor dormitories. In the parking lots, parents many of them fathers were loaded up like pack animals. Inside the residential halls, the urgency with which mothers ferried vast amounts of bedding sheets, pillow cases and comforters up staircases brought to mind laundry day at the Playboy Mansion.

FLC sophomore Elizabeth Thompson, who was posted outside Animas Halls in case newbies needed technological assistance, said when it came to furnishings, incoming freshmen were showing all the right instincts.

Minifridges are certainly out in full force, she said.

Some new students were even avoiding rookie mistakes.

Suffering from colon cancer, 22-year-old Craig Canape spent at least 74 days in Room 370, a bleak and tired-looking room on the third floor of Fortin Tower at St. Vincent Healthcare.

Despite its glum and antiquated look and feel, the room became a home away from home for Craigs parents, Tom and Susan Canape of Laurel. It was filled with heart. They decorated the room with family and school photos and entertained Craigs friends there routinely, even hosting dinners.

Staff brought in a refrigerator, even a big-screen TV anything to make it better.

At night, Tom transformed a cubbyhole-sized waiting room nearby into a makeshift bedroom to be near his son.

We just adapted to what we had, Tom said. It was home, and we got to be with him. There could be improvements, sure, but its hard to knock it because of the excellent care we received.

Craig, often accompanied by friends and family, would escape his dismal room to visit fourth floor where the surroundings were more pleasant and appealing. Fourth floor houses the nursery and sports a new, modern, 21st century look.

You can tell third floor is probably the last floor on the list to be renovated, said Susan with a smile. Its definitely original.

All of that is about to change as St. Vincent Healthcare prepares to embark on a $4.3 million renovation of the floor so that in the future families will be surrounded by a more pleasant, peaceful environment in addition to receiving quality medical attention.

It was in Room 370 that Craig Canape, a former football and basketball player for the Laurel Locomotives, lived out his final hours.

Tom recalls the precise moment his son died 7:15 a.m., May 18, 2013.
