Students performed to compete for scholarship prizes on Friday, April 6 during the Society of Music’s semi-annual Spring Showcase. Club President Ashley Bailey and Vice-President Jade Saffery shared the emceeing duties for the night.
Various acts performed through out the night like Cassidy Feskowetz who sang the melancholy “Green Finch and Linnet Bird” from Stephen Sondheim’s musical “Sweeney Todd” and Ashley Crowe accompanied by Daniel Outlaw on piano and Jade Saffery on saxophone, for a soulful rendition of “Tell me”, composed by Daniel Outlaw himself.
After all of the performers were acknowledged, the Sonora de El Camino band played to an irresistible Afro-Latin beat while the audience voted for the best acts of the night, with three music scholarships at stake. A conga line started snaking on stage.
Cali Moonshine came in third, winning a $100 scholarship. Daniel Outlaw and Ashley Crowe came in second, winning $150. Mamoru Sakamoto won first prize and $200.
