On the second night of the 51st annual Singarama competition Singarama’s On Fire, “Don’t Stop Me Now” took home the Music Category Award.
“Stop” theme director Makenzie Kanyuh and her cast were surprised to win the award after the “Drop” group won the theme category on Thursday night.
“It feels so awesome to win.” Kanyuh said. “This was totally unexpected for us. The other groups also have really good music. We tried to be varied with out music. They’ve been kind of quiet the past few nights, so I was worried.
“Tonight, they were a lot louder, and that’s a big part of it, the projection, as well.”
The cast and crew of “Stop” are made up of Delta Omega, Delta Xi, Phi Nu, Sigma Omega Sigma, Theta Psi and friends.
Saturday holds the final two Singarama performances at Collins Alumni Auditorium. The matinee show at 2 will see the groups competing for the Staging Category Award, while the Sweepstakes Award will be determined after the 7:30 p.m. show.
Kanyuh said her group is going to use their motto and “Brang it” for both of Saturday’s shows in hopes of winning the whole competition.
