THE BATTALION
Although it started out as an
l-white, all-male military
ctol, Texas A&M now has a
omewhat equal distribution of
ten, women, military and non-
iiiary students and is becoming
pw i®culturally diverse.
The 125th Birthday Bash, will
at Rudder Plaza and O.R.
ipson Drill Field from 6 p.m.
3 a.m. Event organizers said
:y hope to celebrate how far
come and also look to
. In doing this, they kept
lone of the imperatives of
2020 — diversity.
Acultural and musical smor-
d of bands will perform
two stages on the drill field.
Dave Salmon, assistant
hector for the Memorial
it indent Center (MSC) and an
"iviserfor MSC Town Hall and
SC academic league, said the
in booking the acts for the
was to promote diversity.
“The forefront of mine and
the students’ minds was to try
to make as diverse a lineup as
possible to have something for
everyone,” Salmon said.
“There will be everything
from jazz to country, rock and
blues, to salsa and merengue.”
Karan Chavis, an A&M
graduate, who will open the
Bash at 6 p.m., said she is look
ing forward to the show and to
celebrating A&M.
“Tm an Ag, and it’s neat to be
involved in something that gets
people together and celebrates the
University,” Chavis said.
Chavis perfonns jazz music
and contemporary and original
selections. However, Bash said
the band will do a lot of rock and
roll, and rhythm and blues.
Chavis said her show will be
high-energy and that she coordi
nated some special elements for
the show, such as p>erforming
patriotic songs like “America the
Beautiful” and a song she wrote
to contribute to the birthday cele
bration called “125 years.”
Chavis said the celebration is
an event students should not take
for granted.
“There won’t be many other
classes that will have the opportu
nity to experience something like
this,” Chavis said. “It is a great
opportunity for Ags to come
together to celebrate where we’ve
been and where we’re headed and
to remember that we are all Ags.”
Chavis said she hopes to kick
off the bash and get everyone
excited about being there and cel
ebrating A&M.
Thirteen acts are scheduled
after Chavis. Salmon said that the
main acts will be pierforming on
one stage and that student acts
will perform on a side stage in
between the main acts so that
hopefully, he said, there will be
no downtime.
Two Spy, an area rock-and-
roll band comprising A&M
students will perform from
7:15 to 8 p.m.
Ryan McLawhon, a junior
speech communications major,
said Two Spy is looking forward
to the opportunity to show sup
port of A&M.
“Everyone should come out
and support the local music and
all the acts, and show their sup
port for A&M and how long it’s
been around,” McLawhon said.
The Ballet Folklorico
Celestial, a student organization
that promotes and encourages
knowledge, appreciation and per
formance of Mexican Folk
dance, will perform from 8:15 to
8:30 p.m.
Genafe Leon, vice president
of the organization and a junior
education major, said the group
hopies the audience will come out
and take advantage of the oppor
tunity to see a high-energy per
formance. Leon said students will
be exposed to dance and music
they might be unfamiliar with.
“It’s an honor ... to let students
know there is an organization that
does what Ballet Folklorico
does,” Leon said.
Leon said the show will be
different from what most audi
ences have ever seen and will
consist of performances from
