To celebrate Hampden-Sydney’s treasured Greek Week celebration, the College Actives Committee looked for a new take on how to put on a memorable concert.

Creating a festival themed show, involving three bands, the CAC found a new tactic to draw in a crowd. The CAC decided to host a festival Greek Week Concert by bringing in three different bands in order to produce a night of music and entertainment for the Hampden-Sydney Community. The CAC and the more than 1000 attendees to the concert jammed out with Perpetual Groove, Tea Leaf Green, and the Jesse Chong Band. The comments coming through the door were of amazement of how much better the concert was than what most people were expecting. Furthermore, there was nothing more exhilarating than hearing the crowd chanting “One more song” at the end of the concert to get Perpetual Groove back into the mood just when they thought they were rapping up their set. 

The CAC would like to graciously thank all those who took part in the effort to make this production happen. Much thanks to all the B&G staff, especially Sarah Tolley and Tom Gregory, to our security for the show, provided by the Minority Student Union and Chief Gee and his staff, all the ARAMAK staff, Jim Pohl and Joy Donaldson, as well as all the wonderful ladies in the Business office, especially Mrs. Burkhart and Ms. Puckett. Thank you to all the other individuals who took so much of their time into making this show possible, from Dean Ramsay, Ms. Dottie, and all the other members of the supportive staff. If you have any ideas or suggestions for next fall’s Start of Classes show, please direct ideas to our facebook fan page.

- Josh Rivera, CAC Secretary
