Air Jam

Air Jam was Thursday, October 6 at 9:00 p.m. in Emens Auditorium.  A sold-out crowd watched various student organizations dance and compete in the annual lip-sync competition!  First place trophies were given to each category winner: Greek, Independent, and Residence Halls. An overall winner and crowd favorite award were also given. The 2011 Homecoming King, Queen, and their courts were crowned following the show! 

The emcees for the show were Alia Blackburn & Aaron Grayson.

There are three categories: Greek, Residence Halls, and Independent.  There is a winner for each category, an overall winner, and a crowd favorite award.

A few helpful hints:

• Judges award points to groups that fit the Homecoming theme, “It's a Bird... It's a Game... It's Homecoming!” in their act.
• Air Jam is a LIP SYNC competition and judges will be encouraged to look for this during the performance.
• Judges do not look highly on inappropriate behavior or moves.
