Two great orgs, one day-- but at least they aren’t at the same time!

New Dominions, a  co-ed a capella group that started in 1990, is preforming their fall concert tomorrow (11/7) at 8pm in McLeod, and of course, you should grab your ticket ($6 students, $7 others). Additionally, there’s a guest performance from the Virginia Gentlemen, so that’s cool.

Staying with the blue paint theme, University Dance Club has a FREE fall showcase at 1pm in Old Cabell. All donations benefit Project Inspire, and there will be guest performances from the Virginia Belles and The Weathermen. 

 Hope you get a chance to check out these awesome showcases! Your fellow Wahoos put a lot of work into these!
