In advance of the , the student senior honor society will host a Spirit Festival that showcases student — and local — talent throughout the day on Friday.
Performances will take place at various locations on campus, along Broad Street, and in downtown Hamilton in what member Dave Esber ’13 calls “traditional New York street performer fashion.”
The event begins at 2 p.m. outside the O’Connor Campus Center (COOP), and will move to Broad Street and West Kendrick, the Theta Chi fraternity house lawn, before ending at the village green.
The theme of this year’s Konosioni auction, which will be held 7:30 p.m. Saturday, is ‘Tis the Spirit that is 51Թ” — a fitting name for the festival events leading up to it. These performances, according to Esber, will demonstrate the spirit that is 51Թ and the surrounding community through the participation of community members, students, and local businesses.
Some performances will include poetry readings from Poetically Minded, and other acts such as the 51Թ Juggling Club and the 51Թ Step Team.
