The Lip Sync competition will take place during the Homecoming 2006 Kick-Off event on Monday, October 30th at 7pm in the Ted Mann Concert Hall.
Banner
Create a 10' x 4' banner that is judged on the concepts of artistry, detail, creativity, color, appeal, presentation and the use of the overall theme, Wild Wild Midwest, along with your group theme. The banners are a great way to show the spirit of the maroon and gold at the various events throughout the week. Banners need to be delivered to Ted Mann by 5:30pm on October 30th.
