FIMBARTS GALA
This black tie optional gala is being hosted
and sponsored by both the Brevard College
Board of Visitors with support from the
College’s Friends of the Fine Arts.
The gala will feature student performances,
an art exhibition gallery, and a sneak peek
at the upcoming musical “The
25th Annual Putnam County
Spelling Bee.”
There will also be a silent
auction, plenty of fine wine and
of course dancing throughout
the evening. As Olivia Willie,
a sophomore music education
major put it, “A night of
badassery in every art: visual.
musical, and theatrical!”
Only the best of the best are chosen for this
event, Willie says. This will be a wonderful
opportunity not only for the older members of
the Brevard community, but for the students,
especially those in the fine arts themselves.
Although it costs S25 to attend the Gala, the
money goes straight to the fine arts. Kaitlyn
Wood, a senior and a theater major says that
“We have to raise money and appreciation for
the arts here at Brevard College.”
So if you need to add a little culture to your
Saturday night, and are willing to donate your
money to the fine arts department, stop by the
financial office in Dunham and pick up your
ticket by 4 p.m.
Brevard psyched for Super Bowl Party
By Josh Smith
staff Writer
Super Bowl Sunday is coming upon us once again. This Sunday the
Underground will be the venue for the Super Bowl party where football
fans and hilarious commercial fans will gather to enjoy themselves with
food and games.
Yes is the answer for all those who are wondering if there will be
snacks! The party organizers are Rachel Barrow, Dee Smith, Liz Birolin,
Maggie Whitman, Megan Walters have planned to have pigs in a blanket,
mini pepperoni calzones, smoke chicken Cornucopia quesadilla, chicken
fingers with honey mustard and BBQ sauce and plenty other tasty foods.
Also along with the snacks there will be desserts plus a Giants cake and
Patriots cake.
This year’s Super Bowl matchup is between the Giants of New York
and the New England Patriots. The New York Giants finished the regular
season with a record of 9-7 and pushed past the Falcons, Packers, and
San Francisco in this year’s NFC playoffs to earn their spot in the Super
Bowl. The New England Patriots finished the regular season with a 13-3
record and pushed past the Broncos and the Ravens to earn their spot.
The Patriots will be showing that it is not necessary for a team to have
a great defense to win Super Bowls. They have a high-powered offense
that is 3rd with 32 points per game, 2nd with 428 yards per game, but a
defense that ranks 31 st (next to last) for giving up 411 yards per game
this year.
The Giants have an offense that is based on passing the ball. They
rank 5th overall with 295 pass yards per game and their rushing is dead
last at only 89 yards per game. Their defense is slightly better than the
Patriots ranking 27th allowing 376 yards per game.
This is the same Super Bowl matchup of four years ago when Giants
pulled off and upset against the heavily favored New England Patriots.
This will be time to get revenge for the loss they took at the hands of
the Giants in 2008.
