Thursday was our First Year Seminar Jamboree here at UMM, where students from different sections show off things they’ve been doing during the semester. My sections focus on American Roots Music, and one of my sections taught other students how to swing dance, after which four of them played live music for people to dance to
I took several pictures, but it was pretty dim and a lot of them are very blurry. I liked this one, though, with the band in the foreground and the people dancing and obviously having fun in the distance.
Last night my sections did their Jamboree radio show on KUMM, which went quite well. They chose some excellent music that covered a lot of interesting music, although they didn’t talk much about it, which was too bad as I don’t think they demonstrated (to themselves or the listeners) how much they had actually learned during the semester.
The photo below is from the booth of some other sections that were looking at diversity and food. I loved their appetizing meat substitute :-).
