Celebrating the talent of students in the Creative Arts Program is the goal of Fest Week at South Plains College.
Fest Week is an event for the four Creative Arts programs to come together, share their talents and demonstrate what they have learned.
The preparation of the event includes students working together to design posters and t-shirts, promote the festival and set up the event.
“I hope all the students enjoy performing, give their best in the performance and involve the audience with the music,” said Chris Hudgins, coordinator of the commercial music program.
The event will start at 5 p.m. each night in the Tom T. Hall Production Studio in the Commercial Music Building. Admission to the event is free to the public. For those who want to watch from home, the event will also be streamed on the internet.
On April 29, Fest Week starts with Country Fest, featuring the different styles of country music, from modern to southern country. Performances by the Pickin’ on the Plains, South Plains Playboys, and Country Jukebox ensembles also will be included, along with an online performance by SPC Youth Live.
