The time has come for Saint Mary’s University students to showcase their talent with the 43rd annual Blue Angel variety show, hosted by the brothers of Phi Mu Alpha fraternity. Approximately two hours of music and comedic emceeing will take place at
8 p.m. Nov. 6 and 7 and 10 p.m. Nov. 7.

“My favorite act was two years ago,” said Lance Thompson, assistant activities director and Saint Benilde and Saint Yon’s hall director and a former member of Phi Mu Alpha. “They sang the ‘Farmer and the Nomad’ by Jayber Crow. The whole time they just stood on the edge of the stage and sang without microphones. It was really cool.”

The fraternity uses Blue Angel as a fundraiser to give scholarships, allow current brothers to get familiar with the sound equipment, buy new equipment and participate in Gifts for Winona. Blue Angel Auditions will be held today and tomorrow.
