The first contestant, and co-winner entertained the audience not only with singing but also with bizarre and dynamic acting and colorful clothing. The "Skull Young'ins" definitely scored points for the creativity of their performance. Their Brady Bunch accents - so popular nowadays - would probably make even the most serious person laugh. Singers left the stage to the loud laughs and even louder ovations.
Two of the competing teams gave quite different interpretations of the Alma Mater. The first team was comprised of Jeff Coates and Marc Lefebvre of Lambda Chi Alpha, who were part of last year's winning team. The other consisted of Orientation Leaders Kevin Doherty and Scott McDermott. Both duos received a big applause: the first after performing the Alma Mater to the famous melody of "Mack the Knife", and the second after amusing the audience with an unconventional beginning of their presentation.
The most breathtaking performance of the night was that of Simple Harmonic Motion, formerly known as the Baker's Dozen. They brought their talents to the stage in beautiful and strong voices and delightful acting. A very emotional leading performance, as well as the collective singing of the whole group made Simple Harmonic Motion the co-winners in this year's Alma Mater contest.
