Who’s Got Talent? SLU’s Got Talent

Published by Tynan Shevlin on March 22, 2011 in BSC Activities, Contest, Fine and Performing Arts, General News and On Campus. 0 Comments

Saint Louis University has a very talented student body.

In fact, one might even say that SLU has got it.

Talent, I mean. SLU’s got talent.

And to celebrate this fact, the Class Legacy Program is hosting SLU’s Got Talent–a spectacle showcasing the most sensational acts from this university–on Thursday, March 24 in BSC Wool Ballroom 173 from 7PM-10PM. Admission is $5, and includes a ballot to vote for your favorite performer. You can even rig the voting, with additional ballots being sold for $1!

It’s all for a good cause, of course. The proceeds from the show will go toward the Emergency Scholarship Fund. This critical fund provides aid to returning SLU students who are experiencing financial difficulty in continuing their studies.

Beyond All Reason, Elevation, Xquizit, SLU Step, and Bare Naked Statues are just a few of the performers that have agreed to battle it out for this worthwhile cause.
