SAI holds Amateur Musicale


Last Sunday night was a night to remember in the fine arts building.

The music sorority Sigma Alpha Iota held their Amateur Musicale at 8 p.m. The show was anything but boring, with comical hosting by the sorority’s president, senior Psychology major Nichol Pritchard and guest host Ben Parker.

The performances held an interesting twist, none of the performers seemed to know how to play their instruments and those that did or attempted to, played completely off-key.

This may seem like an odd thing to do, especially since most of the girls are on some kind of music scholarship. This musicale wasn’t labeled amateur for no reason.

The girls planned the show to be more comical than educational. The girls played a variety of songs with a variety of instruments. The instruments used ranged from kazoos, cups and guitars to pianos, trumpets and recorders. The girls made valiant efforts to play the instruments, but some of them only had a week to a few days of practice on the new instruments before they actually performed.

The money that SAI raised from the show will be going to their local philanthropies.

The sorority will be holding their actual musicale that shows off their real talent Monday Nov. 17th in the Fine Arts building, there will be choir performances along with many instrumental performances. Students should come check out what Sigma Alpha Iota is all about.
