Thanks to a second showtime for this year's Air Jam performances, no groups will be turned away from participating in the popular homecoming event.
The reason for the change, said Air Jam chair Catherine Burgess, is due to the constraints of construction in John R. Emens Auditorium.
“After receiving over 20 group entries, we decided to conduct two separate shows to be as inclusive to the student population as possible,” Burgess said. “This annual tradition has continued to prove its popularity by these eager groups and we are happy to be able to allow each one of them to perform at Emens.”
Awards will be given at each show — division winners, overall winner and crowd favorite — and the group with the highest score between both shows will be announced over the Homecoming social media sites within a half hour after the second show’s conclusion. The same judges will also be present at both shows, Burgess said.
The Air Jam 2016 shows will be Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.. Tickets for both shows go on sale Oct. 6 at 8 a.m. at the Sursa Box Office.
