So I wanted to tell you all about this amazing campus event I went to on Friday. It's called the AHANA Leadership Council Showdown, and it features all the hottest dance clubs on campus, both cultural and technical, in a competition that no one wants to miss. Since its birth several years ago, the event has moved from the small Robsham Theatre to Conte Forum. It was an amazing display of talent, and showed how diverse our community truly is. It was amazing to see so many different cultural groups, from Brazilian to Indian to Hawaiian, all showing us what they have been working on. The dance groups were amazing. The step groups Sexual Chocolate, an all male step group, and F.I.S.T.S., an all female step group, were just fantastic. If you haven't seen step dancing, it is a sight not to be missed. The hip hop groups Synergy and Phaymus were also amazing, but my favorite was Synergy. They came in second place, leaving Fuego, the most spectacular Latino dance group, to come in first. For the cultural event, Masti, the Southeast Asian dance club, outperformed all others and came out on top. The intensity was really awesome, and with an attendance of about 3,000 people, you didn't want to be left out!
Saturday night was the Spring Cafe for the a Capella group the Bostonians. They are my favorite group on campus out of all the dancers and singers who perform. They are the oldest co-ed a Capella group and they are just phenomenal singers. Absolutely extraordinary. I've been to two shows, and both have rooms that are packed and dedicated fans who wouldn't miss the show for the world. It was an awesome weekend.
There is always so much to do on campus, and these are just a few of the events that occur. There are always events at the O'Connell House, the Rat, the Chocolate Bar, plus movie nights, theatre productions, comedy shows, and so much more. It's such an awesome place to be with never a dull moment. Of course, it's always nice to stay in with friends and pop in an old movie :)
