It has FINALLY been decided! ASC is co-hosting with HCO, MAC & SA Diversity Initiatives this year to bring you "Elegance" The formal will take place next week, Saturday Nov. 22 @ the Alumni House from 9 PM - 1AM. Tickets will be sold at the Campus Center next week, Monday - Friday @ 11-7. $8 for individuals or $12 for couples in advance or $10 for individuals or $15 for couples at the door.
ASC Winter Formal is probably the best formal ever. It's going to be bangin' :]
Honestly though, every one always have such a good time - it's a great event, and always fun to see people dress up and look hot. Bring a friend (you don't need a date) and be prepared to have an amazing night!
ASC Date Auction Feedback (What was good/bad & What could have been changed):
MC should keep things moving, not have so many awkward pauses and not be too embarrassing
Turn out was pretty amazing and we were able to raise a
Next time we cosponsor events, we need to make sure the work is divided evenly between the organizations
Mixed feelings about the circular tables (I personally liked them...but probably need more seating?)
More decorations because the place was kinda boring looking
Starting bid was too high
Sparkling cider & cake was good
Winter Formal:
Cosponsoring with HCO and the SA Diversity Initiatives
Will take place on Saturday, Nov. 22 @ the Alumni House
Tickets will go on sale the week of the formal (possibly even 1.5 weeks in advance). Tickets sold in advance will be priced at $8 (individual) and $12 (couple). Tickets sold at the door will be priced at $10 (individual) and $15 (couple). This year, we are thinking about going to every organization's meeting to sell tickets.
Organizations should sign up for ticket selling. Will get that out to everyone soon.
How can we make the formal better? Ideas: Professional photography or even just some type of backdrop. Better food choices? (appetizers)
Horizons
Will take place on Saturday, April 4th @ the SC Commonwealth
Still want to continue with the play type format as opposed to a skit and dances. Want to have it tied together in well, so it's cohesive and not choppy. Possible sequel from last years - students go study abroad and the problems they need to deal with when they return "home"
Need to organize a Horizon's committee
Need a writer that can possibly put everything together
More AV/film segments
Possible Events for Next Semester (or in the future):
(This entry was originally written on November 2nd, 2008, but I was never able to finish it because I got...distracted. ANYWAYS.)
Wow. Simply wow.
The iLL-Literacy concert was an event to truly remember and for those who came to watch them on November 1st at the College of William & Mary, it is without a doubt that all of the audience members left the auditorium with one of the sickest, freshest performances this campus has to offer.
So where did it all begin?
Jessica Wu and I attended ECAASU last year at Cornell University and iLL-Literacy was one of the performers for that massive event. Suffice to say, I loved every minute of it, from the hiliarious "Text Messaging" to the brutal "Self-Hatred's Soliloquy"
I also need to make a note that after iLL-Literacy finished their performance, a friend and I snuck backstage and got a picture with them as well as getting all of their autographs. That was tight. But going on with the story...
About half a year later, little did I know that the formerly known UCAB was bringing iLL-Literacy to the College of William & Mary. Since Jessica Wu was also the co-president of ASC and the fact that many of their members are of Asian descent, it made sense to have a co-sponsorship with ASC. Along with the Office of Multicultural Affairs, IPAX (the International Performance Arts eXchange) was brought onboard and had the permission to create an opener for the event. Everything was in place.
Since I'm writing this nearly 3 months after the event happened, I can say that the audience participation was not as high as we had expected. But the more important thing is that the people who did attend, everyone loved it and after the show, all of us could not wait to get the performers' autographs and talk with them in general.
What was even better was that the group wanted a place to hang out and have fun, and eventually Michael Paik, our very own ASC treasurer, agreed to host the party at his place. Suffice to say, good times were to be had by all who were able to come.
