Mike graduates. Trey and Marley live in a cabin with no electricity and no running water for the summer, and Trey writes "Fee" as well as a second section to "The Curtain" (called "The Curtain With") which eventually becomes "Rift". Trey continues to work with his mentor/composing teacher Ernie Stires getting academic credit through Goddard, writing fugues and big band arrangements ("Flat Fee") which end up in Phish songs. The band is active the entire year, playing a lot of parties, multiple-night stands at Nectars and some Goddard and UVM performances. In December, they go into Euphoria Studios in Massachusetts to record a demo. Some of the songs on the demo were eventually used to create Junta.
