Student Activities Committee brings a i)ttte e~untr't/ ;f j)ttte R~ck In/ R~tt Imagine that there were no entertainment offered on campus for an entire semester. What would the students do? This year the students would have missed out on country music singer Mark Wills; Christian group Acappella; rock group Sister Hazel and, of course, the campus movies. The first big entertainment ~ct for this year was a concert by Wills performed in the Benson Auditorium Sept. 29. Wills won the American Country Music Award for top Male Vocalist in 1999. Wills' hit "IDo(Cherish You)" was later remade by the pop group 98 Degrees and was familiar to many students on campus. "It was really neat to have such a well-known country singer on campus where some of his songs were familiar to both country fans andnon-countryfans," JarenPage, SAC co-chairman, said. "I feel that the SAC has done a dynamic job this year with the selection of music groups on campus, I especially enjoyed the Mark Wills concert," senior Amanda Shores said. The Christian music group Acappella performed Oct. 12 in the Administration Auditorium. This was the first time in three years that Acappella has performed on campus. Students had the opportunity to hear the new members of Acappella and some of their new songs. "They were really good," senior Mac Bell said. "I did miss a lot of the older songs that the former members of the group performed, but it was exciting to see a new group with the same style of music and a lot of great harmony." Rock group Sister Hazel performed in the Benson Auditorium Nov. 11. "lt is so awesome that a music group that is not country is allowed to perform at Harding," junior Tiffany Johnston said. "I was really excited." " The SAC thought it would be a good idea to add some variety to the music groups that usually perform on campus," Page said, "We thought that Sister Hazel would be a success because they are so well-known on campus." - Meredith Garrity Ryan Newell and Ken Block of the rock group Sister Hazel perform their hit "All For You."
