One thing that Texas State University sure does have is talent. In the spirit of homecoming the Student Association for Campus Activities (SACA) put on its annual talent show were the students came out and showed their talent. With its witty hosts to the talented acts it was an evening of great fun and laughter.
With the knowledge of the great turnout of students in previous years, SACA knew they were going to need a large enough area to fit the amount of students. Evans auditorium which is one of the largest auditoriums on campus wasn’t going to fit the amount of students, so SACA had smaller area for an online viewing of the show in LBJ’s teaching theater. So nonetheless it was a quite impressive turn out for this year’s talent show. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a seat in Evans so I saw the show at LBJ. And the theater wasn’t jam-packed like Evans, so it was good.
Once the show began the host came out and introduced themselves. I was surprised that I recognized two hosts for the evening. The two were both of great help during my orientation in the summer and my first week year. That’s one of the reasons to me why Texas State University so remarkable, because even though it’s such a large campus a freshman like me recognized two upper classman. And during the time as hosts they sure kept the audience entertained and made such that their wardrobe matched the acts as they went along. For example, when a dancer who was dressed as Michael Jackson they changed into similar clothing. That’s what made it funny and their chemistry didn’t hurt at all.
Sure does take a lots of courage to get up on stage and perform in front of a huge audience but the talented students of Texas State didn’t let that stop them. There was wide variety of talent shown at the show, from dancing to singing. One act that really stood out to me was a group that danced to Korean artist Psy’s “Gangnam Style”. The song has catchy melody and even though you won’t understand the lyrics you

    Hoodie Allen Review

    • 882 Words
    • 4 Pages

    On the night of November 5th, one of my favorite rising hip hop stars, Hoodie Allen came to the Sacramento State campus. When I first heard of the concert I thought to myself, Hoodie is pretty famous why would he be performing at Sacramento State? Of course I had to see him, so I reached out to a bunch of my friends from my hometown to come with me on that fine night and I’ll tell you it was worth the ten dollar fee. Hoodie lit up the stage with his intense energy and his interaction with the crowd. Although being incredibly hot due to the mass amount of people being in the ballroom at the same time, it definitely will go down as one of the greatest concerts I have been to.…

    Sac State Jazz Concert

    On Friday, December 6th, I attended the Sac State Vocal Jazz Ensembles. The show began with special guests Christian Brothers Vocal Jazz. This young group of singers were extremely talented for their age. They held their harmonies and expressed their talents in each piece they performed. It was quite impressive and heartwarming because these students looked so into the music that it showed the passion they have for singing and vocal jazz. Following these talented young students, the Sac State Jazz Singers came on stage and did an excellent job at their pieces as well. I appreciated the song choices and arrangements for each piece. They definitely showed the hard work and practice they put into each piece and I overly enjoyed the show they put on. With all of the songs from both groups, dynamics, harmonies, unison, scatting, and different rhythms, especially in 4/4 time signature, were portrayed throughout.…

    The singing ability in this show was spectacular. I was impressed by the lyrics of the songs as well as how the acting fit right in with the vocals. The dancing was phenomenal. I felt that the audience was a little dry and slow to react to the dialogue. For how much energy the show provided, I am unsure as to why the audience did not connect.…

    World Music Concert 2

    Sac State’s Ensemeble performed three songs these were: Summertime by George Gershwin with an arrangement by Carlos McCoy, Songomania by Rebeca Mauleon, and Rumba Urbana by Oscar Hernandez. Sac States ensemble had a much smaller group of individuals performing but the performance they gave didn’t lack in any way. Throughout the performance I noticed there was a lot of trumpet, and the piano was a lot faster in the song Summertime. It reminded me of salsa music, something you could dance to with a fast beat. In Songomania there was a lot of Piano, and Drums I loved when they performed this song because most of the instrument players got independent solos to show off their talents. Overall Sac States performance…

    The Butler

    We had been setting up the stage and the audio all week but on the first day of the concert we starting setting up chairs around 3:00 because the doors opened up at 4:30. The stadium started to get full and all of the ground seats were taken. I could see cameras and local radio personalities such as Melissa “Wade in the Water” and Jerry Smith of 103.9 The Light and I'm not a shy person so I definitely introduced myself. They were so nice and Ms. Wade even let me walk around with her for a while while she met with different entertainers for the night. What was different about this is that is wasn't just the big named gospel singers that were performing but there were church groups and small choirs and this one mime team that caught my attention in particular called Face 2 Face. I gravitated toward them for one, because I mime myself and two, is that they were extremely powerful dancers at only the age of eleven. Jordan, the male of the duo gave me a poster of the two of them and I asked him for his autograph and the female of the duo, his cousin jumped in said sassily “I'll sign it for you” and I chuckled. They were definitely one of my favorites performers that night.…
