Every so often, ASCMC receives the opportunity to welcome the presence of a distinguished musical artist to help our students add to their long list of memorable college experiences.

On March 5, 2010, we will be doing just that, with the help of none other than Mr. “Kick Push” himself, Lupe Fiasco.

Just in time for his third studio album release, Lasers, we will be able to enjoy a show filled with new songs and classics alike.

Approximately one week from now, CMC students will be able to purchase tickets at $15, while 5C and public seating will available at $20 and $25, respectively.  CMC students may purchase one ticket per ID, with the opportunity to purchase up to one additional ticket for another CMC student if you bring their ID, as well as your own.

Also, look forward to a raffle for pit tickets so that you may collect Lupe’s sweat in a glass container during the show.

As a senior who is about to graduate, I am ironically only sure of a few things. One of the bullet points on my Post-It sized list of truths is that you must do everything in your power to make memories during your limited time at CMC.

So whether you are a fan of rap, rock, or reggae, identify the group of your most motivated friends, and prepare yourself to enjoy what will be a phenomenal show.

Love Always,

On October 24, thousands of students from all 5Cs will converge on Parents Field.

In an event unprecedented at the Claremont Colleges, our consortium where each college has its own culture, traditions and events, the student governments from all five are coming together to bring to you one historic event, The 5C Music Festival featuring The Cool Kids. There will be a massive outdoor BBQ, a lineup of student bands from the 5Cs, and a headliner bound to make you want “a little bit of gold and a pager.”

The 5C student governments are combining their efforts to accomplish something massive, incredible, and beautiful and to remind all of the campuses that we are capable of working together and having a great time. Look forward to a day filled with good food, music, and people.

Do yourselves the favor of getting ready for the big event by making The Cool Kids lyrics second nature, because this event is going to be insane. So will the after-party. When the concert is over, our friends at Scripps open up one of their biggest parties of the year, EuroTrash, to all 5C students.

If you are a 5C student or band looking to showcase your musical talents, please e-mail nhasegawa@hmc.edu to register to audition for a slot at the festival.

There’s a lot to look forward to, so get excited… now.

Love,
Isayas Theodros
