Friday night in Collins Alumni Auditorium marked Singarama’s halfway point, a night that featured the winner of the best music.

At the end of the show, student coordinator Adwoa Osei announced “The Best Day of Your Life” as the winner, and the cast members, who remained onstage after their performance, erupted into cheers and applause.

“Best Day of Your Life” consisted of students from Delta Nu, Delta Sigma, Theta Psi, Phi Sigma and also independent students. Emily Ann Ray, a junior art major from Chattanooga, directed the show.

She said that choosing the music, an integral aspect of Singarama, is no easy task.

“We try to get music that applies to all different generations, so that everyone in the audience is involved,” Ray said.

She also mentioned that she selected songs that would help tell the story and advance the plot.

The songs featured in “Best Day of Your Life” included “You Make My Dreams Come True,” “Dancing Queen,” “Livin’ On A Prayer,” “The Boys Are Back In Town,” “Where Are You Now,” “Step In Time,” “One Day More” and “Happy Together.”

Along with providing a wide range of music, Ray said she chose songs that would transition well to the stage.

“We really tried to pick songs that we knew would go over well in a show setting,” she said.

The winner of Thursday’s show was originally announced to be ‘Liberty’,  but after a recount, the group with the best theme of the night was ‘Happiness’.

Singarama will finish its run with two performances on Saturday. The first show takes place at 2 p.m. The final performance is at 7:30 p.m and the overall winner of Singarama will be announced at the end of the show.
