The DJ's have been chosen on the basis of the demo tapes they turned into Program Board weeks prior. The only requirement in entering the contest is to be a current student at the college. Program Board said this event falls along the lines of their Alter Ego series which gives local artists and bands a chance to showcase themselves. But unlike the usual rock shows Alter Ego hosts, DJ Throwdown will be music of a different content. This is one way Program Board is hoping to reach out to new students and get them involved in campus activities, he also said.
DJ Throw Down is designed to appeal to students who enjoy new wave music in a college setting.
The Board members are really excited and have put a great deal of effort into this event. They are looking forward to the event being a hit and hope that this event will then generate enough interest to make this a regularly scheduled program. 2001DJ Throw Down will be at 8 pm on Friday, March 9. 3 Spoonfulls of American Comedy by the Buffalo Theatre Ensemble has survived much alteration in its remaining week before opening night. Two were taken on, typically, by BTE members while Dr. Craig Berger, director, still had to cast the remaining part.
