In the last night of Singarama’s On Fire, “Just Drop It” picked up the Sweepstakes Award to give the show two total awards for the 51st annual Singrama. Participants from Delta Sigma, Kappa Chi, Pi Delta, Sigma Iota Delta and friends sang and danced their way to victory at Collins Alumni Auditorium Saturday night. “Drop” group director Aaron Joseph said that, once the sweepstakes was awarded to “Just Drop It,” he didn’t believe it at first. He said that his feelings of winning are beyond words. “It’s an indescribable feeling,” Joseph said. Joseph said that having a front-seat view to watch the show grow from an idea to a sweepstakes winner has been a fulfilling reward. “As a director, that’s all I needed,” Joseph said. The Sweepstakes Award, an honor given to the best overall show, came two days after the “Drop” group won the award for the Theme Category Award. The other shows, “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “Roll With Me,” also won awards. “Don’t Stop Me Now” won the Music Category Award on Friday, while “Roll With Me” won the Staging Category Award at Saturday’s matinee showing.

“Roll With Me” evens out the Singarama playing field after its win of the Staging Category Award at the Saturday matinee of Singarama’s On Fire. The “Drop” group won the Theme Category Award on Thursday, and the “Stop” group won the Music Category Award after Friday night’s performance. Alex Shumate, the director of the “Roll” group, thought this win was much needed. “It feels really good,” Shumate said after the win. “We’ve worked really hard, and we feel like we have a great show, and we feel like we’ve been waiting for a win, so it felt really good to get one. “I feel really good and really confident in our show, and I feel like we have a lot of things going for us.” The grand finale of the 51st annual Singarama takes place Saturday in Collins Alumni Auditorium at 7:30. The overall Sweepstakes Award will be given out after the evening’s performance. Carousel and gallery photos of Thursday’s show from Erin Turner. The group photo to the left is from the author.
