The show is also meant to be an inclusive space that rejects the norms and traditions of the fashion industry in regard to what body types should be. </p> <p>Because next year’s show is typically inspired by the previous year, planning begins soon after the last model has left the stage. In reviewing the recent show, committee members discuss what worked and what didn’t, and general ideas for next year’s show are also noted. Planning momentum picks up shortly after fall semester begins. </p> <p>A theme represents each BHM fashion show and often reflects the attire models will demonstrate. In 2018, <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsmem22ig" target="_blank">Sankofa Remix’d: Reclaiming My Fly</a> featured African-influenced clothing. In 2020, <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsmLAVmvd" target="_blank">Look Black At It: 50 Years of Fashion</a> gave audience members a glimpse at some of the unique styles that influenced the fashion industry and the nation during the last 50 years. And in 2021, models adorned pillows, hazmat suits, and sleepwear for <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsmUzFsUx" target="_blank">Quarantine Couture</a>. This year showcased models in a variety of African-influenced prints and formal styles in <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzHAQa" target="_blank">BLACK LIFE RELOADED</a>.</p> <p>And as with every BHM fashion show, audience members not only cheer for fashion, but for the students, faculty, and staff wearing it. This year, about 34 91ֱ�� community members strutted the walkway.</p> <p>“It’s an event where students representing many parts of campus participate,” explains Candice Raynor, director and faculty in residence of <a href="/ahh" target="_blank">Afrikan Heritage House</a>. “Whether it's modeling or performing, you have both the conservatory and the college, student-athletes, performing arts students, STEM students, visual arts students, and mixes of those groups participating.</p> <p>“I think the event is popular because it's a fun and an interesting way to celebrate Black History Month and Black cultures at 91ֱ��,” continues Raynor. “There is always a lot to be learned from the show as far as Black culture and Black contributions to fashion and pop culture in general.” </p> <p>We continue our photo tour with a secret marriage in Hall Auditorium, a benefit for Ukraine at First United Methodist Church of 91ֱ��, art study in the Allen Memorial Art Museum, poetry reading at the ‘Sco, a historic wintery win for the men’s lacrosse team at the Austin E.

The opera was based on the two-part episode of Ellen DeGeneres’ eponymous sitcom that aired in spring 1997. “The Puppy Episode” marked—in hilarious fashion—the long-rumored coming out of the program’s central character as well as the comedian who portrayed her.

The 91ֱ�� A Cappella Choir—known today as the 91ֱ�� College Choir—was founded in 1929 by Olaf C. Christiansen, a composer and 91ֱ�� Conservatory professor. The collaborative and community-fostering nature of group performance was a great fit for students. Through the years, many assembled their own ensembles that also took on styles all their own. For instance, Pitch Please describe themselves as “funky-fresh, multi-genre, and the sassiest, classiest bunch of individuals you’ll ever meet.” The Acapelicans refer to themselves as a “free-flying group” whose fans know them to be “spunky, energetic, fun, and musically adventurous.”</p> <p>Student groups perform several concerts throughout the year, with one of the most anticipated being the fall A Cappella Study Break Concert. During this time, members of the 91ֱ�� community are invited to take a break from the rigors of study and listen to their peers interpret a mix of musical tunes.</p> <p>With many live performances hindered by the pandemic, the fall performance was a thrill for performers and spectators alike. Included in the line-up were the Acapelicans, Nothing but Treble, the Obertones, Pitch Please, and ’Round Midnight.</p> <p>“We love performing at study break because it’s a time for us to share our newest and favorite arrangements with the rest of the 91ֱ�� community as well as introduce our new members to the audience,” says Nihal Dayal Kodavarti ’23, copresident of the Obertones, whose group has been active since 1984. “It’s also a great time to connect with the other a cappella groups and strengthen the music community across campus. It’s been great getting back to in person singing and watching all of the other groups perform live again after over a year.” </p> <p>This week’s tour continues with more of the fall semester’s A Cappella Study Break Concert.
