Students fired up for Rock Rally
This Friday, students will have the opportunity to show off their school spirit at the annual Rock Rally.
There will be two events occurring, one of which is the Rock Rally. At 7 p.m., in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium. Students of different groups and organizations will join together to compete and kick off the Homecoming game.
Homecoming facilitator and Rochester Hills senior Laura Birge said that Rock Rally is almost like a pep rally, but that Central Michigan University's is much bigger.
“Rock Rally has a lot of different parts, including Mock Rock routines, cheerleaders, and the dance team. It’s such a great turn out every year. The only changes are the Mock Rock themes and the performances,” Birge said. “However, I should say that since there is always a good turnout, the event is first come, first serve."
Rock Rally is multiple events in one, so it will offer a host of activities meant to hype up the students.
Detroit Sophomore Arialle Peck, a facilitator for Rock Rally said that students should expect nothing less but a day full of fun.
"They should expect to step out of their comfort zone and to have fun," she said. "They should remember not too take the competition too seriously because it's meant for their enjoyment."
Mock Rock, which is one of the main events of Rock Rally, has a new theme. It is centered around the '80s. Detroit freshman Ahsha Davis, the choreographer for Mock Rock, says that students should expect a good time and a lot of bonding.
"Rock Rally is about diversity and good ideas being put to action. It's about team work and having fun," Davis said.
