While students sang and cheered during the Full Moon Festival, Delta Omega and Theta Psi raised almost $5,000 for charity.
There were more than 15 musical sets with a variety of artists and genres during the annual celebration of songs, dancing and community.
“Riley Moore in Phi Sigma was my favorite! She’s in my social club… I love when she sings, and it is so fun to support the girls!” said Allison Parks, a sophomore education major of the March 8 event.
Some Full Moon Festival crowd favorites were covers by artists such as Tyler Childers, Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift.
“The country set was probably my favorite- some people were getting rowdy to those songs.” said Levi Bennett, a drummer at the show and commercial production major.
When one band played “Sparks Fly” by Taylor Swift, the crowd’s energy swelled.
There were also acoustic sets played by individual artists.
“It was just her and her guitar,” said Parks of Moore’s performance. “It was so fun and groovy!”
Mallory Nunley, a Delta Omega member, said, “Although it was free for the first 250 students, we sold T-shirts, stickers, and took donations to raise the $5,000,” Delta Omega’s Mallory Nunley said. “We are so thankful for all the students who supported us in our cause.”
In between the fun of live music and free food, Delta Omega announced that the $5,000 they made will go directly to support YES (Youth Encouragement Services). This Church of Christ non-profit serves the academic, physical fitness, social and spiritual needs of Nashville’s under-served youth.
