Medieval-themed dance to astound
The event was planned by SAC executive members Steve Sassaman, senior and annual events chair and Sarah Andrews, sophomore and special events chair. "The Annual Events Committee of SAC began brainstorming theme ideas for the semi-formal about a month ago," Sassaman said. "There's a lot that goes into planning it--decorations, food, deejay, etc.," Andrews said. "We had different committees handling different aspects of the planning, which worked out really well. But the time we've spent is definitely worth it in the end. I can't wait to see everything come together." Sassaman said that the theme for this year's dance is a unique part of the event and something that the committees had trouble planning. "Planning this year was the hardest part," Sassaman said, "especially when it came down to deciding on a theme for the dance as education is hard to turn into a fun dance party." He also said it was difficult to think of this year's theme when using last year's dance as a baseline. The Homecoming dance in 2008 was the Sesquicentennial Ball, organized in honor of the 150th anniversary of the university. "My committee decided that a medieval theme would be an original and interesting theme for the dance," Sassaman continued. "There will be plenty of awesome cardboard creations such as a full scale dragons present at the dance, so be sure to check it out." The 2009 Homecoming Court members will be present at the semi-formal, and the king and queen will be announced after the dance begins. All current students, alumni, faculty and staff are invited to attend the dance. "Freshmen have a lot of fun and exciting memories that can be created at Homecoming and can just participate because it will be a good time," Sassaman said. Freshman Rachel Pezzolla said that she is ready to attend her first Homecoming dance at Susquehanna. "I can't wait to dress up and go out and dance and have fun with all the new friends I've made since I've been here," she said. "Students at my high school didn't take our school dances very seriously, so I am anxious to see a dance that actually has students attending with school spirit and who show excitement. I love to dance, and I am hoping I may be able to make even more friends and gain even more school spirit attending the Homecoming weekend festivities." To this year's freshmen, Andrews advised: "[E]njoy the experience because it's a great SU tradition and definitely check out as many of the Homecoming events as you can." To the seniors, she added, "We'll miss all of you next year, and I hope that it won't necessarily be [your] last time because we hope to see [you] back on campus after [you've] graduated."
