In one of my journalism class, I cover entertainment\/art beats. Our most recent assignment entailed choosing a relevant UGA-related issue, and interviewing 6 strangers. I chose to interview students about who they would like to see performing at the UGA Homecoming Concert – before the school announced that DJRX would be performing. Here is the finished product.

The University of Georgia hosted its first formal homecoming event in 1922. It was a Friday evening rally that consisted of energetic speeches from coaches, team members, visiting alumni and faculty.<\/p>\n

Now the University of Georgia dedicates a week to homecoming festivities before the big football game on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The homecoming concert is one of the more popular weekday events. \u00a0Some students like going to the concerts regardless of who performs.<\/p>\n

Others say they need to know who the performer is before they decide to attend the concert.<\/p>\n

Caroline Benson is a fourth-year marketing major from Middletown, Rhode Island. \u201cI think pop music would be good for a homecoming concert. I would pay $30 to see someone that I like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roland Seim is a third-year microbiology major from Smyrna, Georgia. \u201cPersonally, I like rock music and country music, but I don\u2019t really have any preferences. Rap is fine too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Temiloluwa Onafuye is a fourth-year microchemistry major from Suwanee, Georgia. \u201cI have not been to a UGA homecoming concert before but I\u2019d prefer a rap concert for homecoming, with somebody like Kendrick Lamar as the headliner.”<\/p>\n

Paris Moorman is a second-year statistics major from Marietta, Georgia. \u201cI haven\u2019t been to a homecoming concert yet. I would like to see an R&B concert for homecoming. I\u2019d love to see Bruno Mars.”<\/p>\n

Maddie Marsh is a fifth-year psychology student from Statesboro, Georgia. \u201cI have not attended a homecoming concert before. My favorite kind of music is folk music or upbeat pop music. I would like to see the Avett Brothers or Mumford and Sons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashley Carter is a second-year journalism and sociology major from Atlanta, Georgia. \u201cI have not been to a homecoming concert before, but if the right artist comes, then I will go. I would definitely like to see a rap or hip-hop performance. We need to be excited for homecoming.”<\/p>\n
