Songfest: Show Summaries

P A G E 3V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 3

Rock of Ages: A small town girl

meets a big city rocker in Los

Angeles most famous nightclub and they fall in love to

some of the best songs of the

decade. The story is told

through the iconic, mind-

blowing love songs of the era

including some of the greatest

hits from artists like Journey

and Bon Jovi.

Chicago: Roxie Hart, an ambi-

tious chorus girl, murders her

lover. She then convinces her

gullible husband, Amos, thather lover was in fact a burglar.

Amos agrees to take the rap

until the police convince him

that the burglar was in fact

Roxie's lover. Thus, Roxie goes

to jail and joins another fa-

mous stage performer and

murderess, Velma Kelly. Both

Roxie and Velma are headline

hunters seeking to capitalize

on pre-trial publicity for the

sake of acquittal and stagecareers.

Xanadu: A stage spoof of the

outrageously bad movie from

1980 about a painter and his

muse

who

findlove

at a

roller

disco

in Los

Ange-

les.

Fame: FameThe Musical is

bittersweet but ultimately in-

spiring story of a diverse group

of students as they commit to

four years of grueling artisticand academic work. With can-

dor, humor and insight, the

show explores the issues that

confront many young people

today.

9 to 5: An office trio form an

alliance against their "sexist,

egotistical, lying, hypocritical

bigot" boss and his fascistic

assistant and office snoop and

finally make the company

world safe for the fairer sex.

Across the Universe: A love story

to the sound of the Beatles.

And well, you know that last

one GREASE!!!!

Watching a 12 minute speed ver-

sion of a show you dont even

know can be a little confusing, so

here are a list of summaries of the

shows you can look forward to

seeing May 7th.

Little Shop of Horrors: Seymour

works at a flower shop, at-

tending a plant who he has

named Audrey II. This plant is

no normal plant. It came from

outerspace and requires a diet

of fresh blood. Seymour starts

by giving the plant his own

blood, but, when people start

dying, the plant wants more

than a few drops of blood.

We Will Rock You: On Planet Mall

all the musical instruments are

banned. Its an age of Boy

Bands . But Resistance is grow-

ing. Legend persists that

somewhere on Planet Mall

instruments still exist. Some-

where, the mighty axe of a

great and hairy guitar god lies

buried deep in rock. The Bohe-mians need a hero to find this

axe and draw it from stone. Is

the one who calls himself Gali-

leo that man?

On Saturday April 10th, Barbara, Sandra, Hillary, Kristen, Jason, and I participated in

"Grocery Day" for Songfest. We were assigned to the Ralphs on Harvard and when we

got there, we were all a little nervous. We were given no specific instructions, only to

collect non-perishable food items for the OC Food Bank. Then we decided to make two

big, bright green posters that matched our spring retreat shirts! We were so amazed

that so many people were so generous. Some customers brought out two or three bags

of cans and other food items. We also met a Tri Delta from Miami, who brought us two

bags of groceries. We ended up filling two carts of groceries and getting 430 items! Eve-

ryone who participated and donated helped feed many families and also gave Grease

430 items towards our 1,000!

Delta Love, Rhiannon

Love Tri Delta, but

never forget that

you are at college

to be a student.

What you do and

achieve here affects

your future. There

is no harm in doing

well, but doors will

close when you let

opportunity pass

you by.

To broaden the moral and intellectual life

First, I would like to recog-

nize the girls who received

a 3.5 or above last quarter.

These are the girls that are

holding up our chapter to

its highest standard. Thank

you for that.

UCI, as I hope everyone

has come to realize, is a

good school. Yearly, peo-

ple get denied who other-

wise would have loved to

come here. I will admit

that average people slip

between the cracks. I ac-

knowledge that boy in

class that speaks total gib-berish every time he opens

his mouth is the strange

exception of acceptance.

But know this, you didnt

get into Tri Delta because

you were average. Being a

member of Tri Delta is an

honor. When you received

that letter asking you to

become a member you

were being told that you

were of a higher caliber.

Great things are expected

of you because you are a

member of this chapter.

There should be no dis-

honor when you walk into

a classroom with your let-

ters on. Your letters are a

symbol that youre part of

an elite organization.Every sorority and frater-

nity member has this

honor. What makes the

difference between the

organizations is the con-

nection between one girl

and the family she decided

to pledge to. We all

choose Tri Delta, but re-

member, Tri Delta chooseyou too because it saw

something great in you.

Getting good grades will

reflect well on this chap-

ter. I would love to be top

in grades, but more than

anything realize that get-

ting good grades is a gift

you give to yourself. Who

hasnt felt amazing afterseeing a new A pop up

on their transcript?

If you got into UCI... If you

got into Tri Delta; you are

completely capable of do-

ing well in school. This

doesnt mean staying in

every night and missing

out on life. It means priori-

tizing. Acknowledging

your weakness and not

being afraid to ask for

help.

Getting good grades will

never hurt you, but get-

ting bad or even average

grades can. In a way, this

is a call to arms. This is not

a competition with other

sororities but a personal

statement that we are

better than what we have

shown so far.

Lets prove it.

Good luck on Midterms.

Brittany Sitzer

While Brittany may be

a Songfest alumnae,

she is not on cast this

year. But that doesnt

stop her from coming

into practice and help-

ing out with every-

thing from cleaning toactual choreography.

She is also one of our

girls spearheading

Derby Days. Thank

you for always putting

in the extra work, it

means a lot.

Steph Loftus

For putting on an

amazing retreat! We

all know a lot of hard

work went into plan-

ning this weekend

outing, and it turned

out to be a huge suc-

cess. Everything fromgetting into the aquar-

ium for only $5 to

getting to stay at the

Marriott. Thanks for

all your hard work.

All the girls who

stepped up to help

out with the Pansy

Press!

The Pansy Press will

only get better with all

of your help. I truly

appreciate all of your

dedication and excite-

ment. It can only get

better from here.
