SpringFest 2010
The University of Southern Indiana's SpringFest 2010,
featuring about 20 bands, carnival rides, food booths, games and
contests, a car show, and other performances, will be held Friday and
Saturday, April 9-10, on the USI campus. Activities Programming Board is
sponsoring the two headlining acts: country artist Luke Bryan on
Friday and rock band Motion City Soundtrack on Saturday.
Brooks Cooper, a student organizer of the event and president of the
USI chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America, said,
"We've more than doubled the budget this year and more than doubled the
activities, so we're really excited to be able to share fun and music
with the whole campus."
The headliners were chosen by USI students through an online survey. "We
went with not just the number one choice but the number two as well, so
we have both rock and country," Cooper said.
Other events include:
- A Car and Truck Show sponsored by Alpha Kappa Psi to benefit the
United Cerebral Palsy Foundation of Greater Indiana
-"Trike-A-Palooza," giant tricycle races to benefit the Jamel Lewis
Education Fund in memory of Jeron Lewis
- A "USIdol" competition to select the best vocalist at USI
- Appearance by the Rollergirls of Southern Indiana roller derby team
USI students, employees, alumni and their families can ride the carnival
rides for free by bringing the Day at the Zoo/SpringFest mailer to the
event.
The general public pays $20 for Bryan and $25 for Motion City Soundtrack
or $40 for both. The door will open at 8 p.m. for each 's concert.
