To end black history month, BSU presented its annual culture show, the Asé Awards! The performance was Friday, February 27th, and Saturday, February 28th. Tech week this year was during a Hell Week (Friday I-Day), so along with long practices, participants had numerous assignments and assessments to worry about. Regardless, the Asé Awards came together beautifully!
There were ten dances in total:
- Sophomore
- Kiganda
- Junior
- Lindy Hop
- Step
- Majorette
- Senior
- African
- Board Dance
- Modern
Additionally, there were five other performances:
- Black National Anthem
- Fashion Show
- “Oscar Winning Tears” by RAYE
- “Lovin’ You” by Minnie Riperton
- In Da Classroom
To lead up to the show, BSU organized several events:
- Midday Jeopardy
- S&E Games
- Midday Karaoke/Freestyle Event
- Midday Pictures
Each day had their own dressup theme.
The show’s theme was a play on the Grammy Awards. At the end of each act, the choreographers went up to accept an award and give a small speech. The dances were filled with energy and thoroughly captured the audience! On Friday, audience members were able to participate in In Da Classroom, which can easily be played outside of the show. The Fashion Show was also unique and exciting!
The Asé Awards was a blast to attend! African and Modern were especially captivating because of their high energy and intense dances. My personal favorite was Lindy Hop because it felt very Hollywood-style. However, all of the performances exceeded expectations, and it was very clear how much dedication and effort was put into this show!
