Awakening - All Campus Sing 2011

The BCM participated in the 53rd Annual All Campus Sing (ACS) hosted by Sigma Alpha Iota. This is the second year in a row the BCM has performed in ACS after several years of not having a group. However, the past 2 years there have been over 40 students involved in each of the performances.

The heart of the BCM being involved with ACS has been to use the performance as a chance to be a voice for those in need. Last year the theme of their performance was aids/HIV awareness in Africa. This year they chose to be the voices of the 27+ million people caught in human sex trafficking around the world. Their 5 minute performance included songs by W.P.A., Natasha Bedingfield, Justin Dillon, and Switchfoot. Each of the songs featured were used in a documentary titled Call + Response that helped to inspire this year's theme of Awakening.

For the second year in a row, the BCM brought home 2nd place in the independent division. They were awarded a certificate of participation, a trophy, and a check for $300. The team had already decided that if they won any money that they would donate it to MakeWay Foundation at Murray State. MakeWay serves to work against human trafficking and other forms of mondern-day human slavery in the U.S. and around the world. For more information on how you can partner with MakeWay email Mark Davis at mark.davis@murraystate.edu.

If you are interested in viewing the documentary Call + Response, there will be a viewing at the Curris Center Theater at Murray State on Monday, April 25 at 6:30pm. This is a free event to all.

We sure are proud of the students that participated on Wednesday and thankful that they were willing to take a stand. Below are a few pictures of the performance!
