Madrigal is the Prom of College. The Madrigal committee spends countless hours turning the cafeteria into a whole new world. Students spend literally days camping out in anything from tents to U-Haul trucks to get their tickets first so that they can get in the center of the room. When we sing the song, each section of the room stands on their chairs and takes one of the 12 days. Students move from their dorms to the lawn in rain, sleet, or snow.
Some students bring out couches or chairs.
While this event is not official or organized, rest assure that as soon as the first major snow fall comes, students scramble outside to bombard each other with snowballs. Usually it is dorm versus dorm. It's a nice way to blow off some steam or just take a break from your studies. Each class has thirty minutes from bare stage to bare stage to perform an original script for the rest of the campus. The performance includes, acting, singing, and anything else imaginable.
