The newest male social club at Lipscomb, Theta Psi, took home first place for the fifth annual Stomp Fest presented by Kappa Iota Theta. The Wolves, as Theta Psi is referred to by members and non-members alike, earned the judges respect after a stepping routine that caused an uproar of cheers from the crowd. Senior Jeru Jorguenson was the captain behind Theta Psi’s FBI-themed routine, and all of the members stated that he was a major reason they won first place. “Jeru Jorguenson was our coach. He’s been planning this [routine] for a long, long time, and it’s really exciting to see it pay off,” Theta Psi President Zach Bowen said, “For all of us, but especially for him and for the team. I’m so proud of them.” “This is probably one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had at Lipscomb, and words cannot describe how happy I am,” Jorguenson said. With the added pressures of coaching the team, this Stomp Fest experience was different than past ones for Jorguenson, and that made the win even sweeter. “I’ve always had fun at Stomp Fest, but having all of the stress and all that stuff pay off at the end of it is amazing.” Jorguenson said. Female social club Pi Delta took home second place on the night with a routine centered on storms. During the show’s intermission, youth club Alpha Omega stomped to a Christian-themed routine that brought the crowd to their feet. The crowd-pleasing drill involved kids of all ages spouting off Bible verses while performing their moves. The overall theme for the night was “Evolution,” and many...

The cast and crew of “Stop”, one of the three segments in the 51st installment of Singarama, have been working together almost every day and night for over a month. With only a few days remaining until one of the biggest events on Lipscomb’s campus, the members of “Stop” are anxiously awaiting opening night. The overall theme of Singarama this year is “Singarama’s On Fire” and the individual segments of the show are titled “Stop,” “Drop” and “Roll.” The first of the three shows, “Stop,” will be put on by Delta Omega, Delta Xi, Phi Nu, Sigma Omega Sigma, Theta Psi and friends. “Stop” revolves around Rick and Louis, two crossing guards, who encounter an unexpected theft while on their morning shift. The theft causes the two guards to embark on a twist-filled mission for justice and love. “Throughout the story, they are going from place to place and finding different clues, trying to figure out who stole from the jewelry store,” show director Makenzie Kanyuh said. Kanyuh has participated in Singarama all three years that she has been at Lipscomb, but this is the first time she has held the position of director, a position that she says has both its perks and problems. “I’m just really excited to see it all come together,” Kanyuh said. “As director, it’s so much fun, but it’s really stressful to see it all piece-by-piece and have some holes still in it as you’re a week away. There are always holes when you’re a week away. That’s just the nature of it. Seeing it all come together is what I’m most looking forward to.” Rick and Louis,...
