SA Preview: Block Party
Summer was fun and we have all made our memories that we will hold forever, but school is back. Now we get to come together and make new memories in this new semester. The campus is buzzing with new life and there is no better way to start off the Fall semester than with one of the campus’ biggest events: Block Party.
This semester is the start of a new year and we have over 70 events planned for this year just to help each of you feel connected and meet new friends. Whether you are a freshman coming in or a sixth-year senior, Block Party is the place to be. The event takes place on August 28th at 4 p.m., and there will be free giveaways and fun rides for everyone to enjoy. Bring your hall and bring your friends because we will have multiple food vendors, and a number of clubs representing themselves and giving out fun prizes. Just when you think it couldn’t get any better, we will be having artists perform the whole time. There will be five artists/bands performing that day, so make sure to come see what all the hype is about. Let’s get to know the artist though:
FLAME
FLAME is a Grammy nominated artist and will be our Headliner for the night. This Christian hip-hop artist has brought a new sound that is capturing everyone’s attention. He will be wrapping up our show and trust us when we say come ready to get hype and dance the whole night with your friends.
Aaron Cole
Everyone knows the best concerts have some of the best performers and Aaron Cole is known for his presence on the stage. He is a young new rap artist that is quickly making a name for himself having his songs used by ESPN and Netflix. Needless to say, you are not going to want to miss him once he hits the stage.
Apollo Ltd.
Don’t like being labeled? Well neither do these guys as they make their own sound that can be recognized anywhere. This band has a mix of alternative and pop feel with a bit of rock energy. There is no doubt that this group’s sound will bring a lively and easy-to-dance-to concert. Make sure you and your friends get here to see these guys live.
RICHLIN
From a small town in Oregon to the big stage, RICHLIN has made a name for himself with his modern Christian pop sound that everyone loves. His heart is to make Jesus’ name known to all the nations, and he does so through his creative lyrics that gets everyone on their feet. Make sure you show up and you come ready to start hitting the download button when you fall in love with his sound.
Scout Powell
A fellow Flame with a voice that demands the attention of her audience. Scout Powell has deep roots in the world of music, and by no means is trapped to just one genre. She is a mix of modern rock with a little bit of country. You will not want to miss it as she kicks the night off.
We cannot think of a better way to kick off this semester than with each of these artists putting on one of the most hype Block Parties yet! So, bring your friends, win free stuff, and come ready to make some unforgettable memories, because we’ll bring the fun, all you have to do is bring yourself. As we prepare for this event, we cannot wait to see the campus come back to life with all the fun events we have planned, but this has to be one of the best events we get to do. So, come ready to make memories with some of your best friends and we will see you there.
