Air Jam and Homecoming Royalty Coronation
When: October 1 at 9 p.m.
Where: Emens Auditorium
Tickets are $10 and go on sale September 21.
People who had lined up outside of Emens Auditorium to sign up for Air Jam spots were sent home early with vouchers Sept. 8.
Air Jam, a lip-syncing competition put on during Homecoming Week, is a popular program for campus groups to participate in. The competition is limited to 20 groups, so people have traditionally camped out in front of Emens to snag a spot for their organizations.
Registration forms were due Sept. 9 at 9 a.m., but people started lining up as early as 8 p.m. Sept. 7. This year, the Homecoming Committee decided to step in and modify the rules because of how early the line formed.
The Homecoming Committee sent everyone home Sept. 8, but kept track of the order they were lined up in. The groups that had a spot were given the chance to come back the next day at 9 a.m. to turn in their paperwork.
“This was just something that had to happen this year,” Air Jam Chair Kirsten Davenport said. “Since all 20 spots were filled yesterday, we gave vouchers out so people could go home.”
Davenport said the Homecoming Committee did not prompt the groups to line up as early as they did.
“We don’t even advise them to camp out; all we do is tell them when forms are due,” Davenport said. "Seeing as so many people were excited to get signed up for Air Jam prior to the time slot, we can expect to have great entertainment for a big crowd that night."
