The event was sponsored by campus music fraternity Phi Mu Alpha, who has sponsored the show for the past 39 years. This year’s show was emceed by seniors Ana Sontag and Andrew Winecke and consisted of acts from a variety of genres, ranging from rock and folk to musical theatre, ska and hip-hop. The show opened with the upbeat styling of AC/DC’s “Shook Me All Night Long” and closed with Oldie Moldie All-Stars performing various oldies songs. Oldie Moldie All-Stars have been closing Blue Angel for a number of years with a high energy performance that encourages the crowd to participate. Among the 21 acts were a fair number of new performers, as well as favorites who have been performing in Blue Angel and Gaslight shows for the past four years.
The PR and Business Club sponsored the “Best Seat in the House” raffle at each show, in which winners were seated at a couch in front of the stage and could enjoy free pizza and pop. The sisters of Sigma Alpha Iota were involved in Blue Angel, selling refreshments for the guests in addition to many sisters lending their own musical stylings to the show. This event brought in crowds of students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as prospective students.
Blue Angel performances took place Friday, Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. along with two shows on Saturday at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
