The 66th consecutive year is upon us! Of course I am talking about the long time tradition here at OU called University Sing! U-sing, for short, is a production applying an overall theme to create a show that involves singing, dancing, as well as a storyline. The theme for this year is, There’s A First Time For Everything and auditions for the show were this past Sunday, September 28th. Seven out of eleven organizations make the show every year and this year is not only bringing tons of talent in dance and vocals but also in comedy and creativeness! The shows that made it this year are First Class, Little Lion Man, One Small Step, Play Ball, Rockefeller, Superman, and Toy Story; each of which depict a different first time throughout history. It is going to be a long and exciting wait until the weekend of November 8th when all these shows will be performed for the first time for their organizations, friends, and family.

This year I was fortunate enough to get involved with Campus Activities Council and applied to be on the U-sing 2014 Executive Team. I am helping out with the Awards Show of the program which will be following after the last performance on Saturday. You are hearing it here first, the trophies are awesome this year and I know everyone is aiming towards first place! Our executive team leader is the one and only Julianne Hennessy, along with her vice chairs Ariel Mackey, Ann Estes, Jeff Pitcock, and Jennifer Phillips. Without them U-sing wouldn’t be as successful as it has been so far. It has been without a doubt the most fun I have had with people I didn’t know at all until just last semester. I highly recommend to any current freshmen to get involved with U-sing next year or if you plan on being here next fall then try out for your organizations u-sing cast because you truly do make college memories.
