to replace Bonfire.
“Push Week is not about replacing Bonfire, but
bringing back what it had,” Sherrieb said. “How
do you replace a 90-year-old tradition that meant
so much to this University?”
He said the activities are meant to fill the
void that has been left here, and that Fall
Activities Council members feel that something
needs to happen.
“We are trying to recreate the unity and spirit of
Bonfire,” Sherrieb said.
The first Push Week event. Reveille Ball, is a
free, formal dance held in Reed Arena that is open
to all A&M students.
“Reveille Ball is a free, fun opportunity to
get dressed up and meet other Aggies in a safe
environment,” said Jennifer Kirby, chair of
Reveille Ball.
Reveille Ball began in 2001 when the University
held the 125th Anniversary Ball, Kirby said. A com
mittee was put together and provided funds by the
University to throw the first annual Reveille Ball last
year, Kirby said.
“The goal of Reveille Ball is to promote cam
pus unity and the family atmosphere that all
Aggies share,” Kirby said.
Damian Medina, former chair of Reveille
Ball, said last year approximately 1,500 people
attended.
“Reveille Ball, though open to all students,
serves as a special opportunity for freshmen and
sophomores to attend a formal dance because
Junior Boot Dance and Senior Ring Dance are for
mally known as events for upperclassman,”
Medina said.
Reveille Ball tickets will be available at no
charge at the MSC Box Office through 5:30 p.m
Wednesday.
A full schedule of Push Week events can be
found at FAC.tamu.edu
