Saturday afternoon was perfect weather for the event taking place by Recreation and Fitness Center. The goal: to get defunkified! Many students, including myself weren’t sure of what to expect, but were rather impressed upon arrival. Walking up to the fitness center on Hilltop, ears were greeted by the sound of Planet Pan Steelband filling the air. I had never heard a steel drum band in person, and must say they had a very unique and catching musical style.
Many students and even some faculty sported tie-dye tee-shirts, as the first 300 people in attendance were given them free. Alongside the steel drum band, those taking part in the event enjoyed copious amounts of free food such as hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, cookies, popcorn, cotton candy, and drinks.
For a little spice of fun and excitement? Many took part in street luge, which consisted of strapping on a helmet and bolting down the hill on what looked like a skateboard. With the sun high in the sky, a game of hack sack was soon underway and the hopes of getting out of the winter funk were reality.
