For the first time, Stompfest opened its doors to the public for the dress rehearsal of Tuesday night’s show. With teams such as ‘Varsity’ and ‘Strong Women,’ this year’s Stompfest is focused on taking the show to ‘The Next Level.’
“We wanted to raise the level of Stompfest,” Stompfest Director Ashleigh Majors said. “We’re trying to make the show grow and make it better.”
Majors said putting together a night filled with dancing and music was not easy.
“It was stressful at times,” Majors said. “I had to make sure everything was ready for the dress rehearsal and main show, and always had to be in contact with the different teams.”
Majors added that it is rewarding to see hard work pay off in the end and watching the show is always her favorite part.
This is the sixth year that Stompfest has been hosted by the social club Kappa Iota Theta.
The social clubs participating this year are Delta Omega, Delta Sigma, Sigma Iota Delta, Phi Sigma, Phi Nu, Pi Delta and Theta Psi. Phi Beta Sigma from Tennessee State University is also taking part in the event.
The main Stompfest show will be Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in Collins Alumni Auditorium.
