Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

Campus Feud

“I just wanted to get back to your email and let you know about how the event went. You guys were a pleasure to work with, as was Keith. He was an awesome host, very good with getting the students to get in teams and was very organized. He also went at a great pace, since we did have a larger turn out, he was very good about getting everyone involved and made sure everyone that wanted to play, could. Thank you guys so much for teaming up with us for this event. Have a great weekend. “

Elizabeth Acevedo

“She [Elizabeth Acevedo] was wonderful. It was a perfect fit for the event, the audience loved her! She gave them a space to explore some emotions they may have or need to understand from an outsider’s perspective or just a space to hear what she had to say abut her experiences, observations, etc. One of the students from the club we were collaborating with even said we need to bring her back in the future. She is one performer we will be keeping in our heads for future performances.”

Brian Ledbetter

“Brian Ledbetter is a class above when it comes to entertainment! My students were in awe of his feats of mentalism and they were amazed at the interaction he shared with them. I would highly recommend Brian [Ledbetter] for any college looking for a great programming opportunity. His show is humorous, mesmerizing and incredibly entertaining! My students were left wanting more and they can’t wait to have Brian [Ledbetter] back on campus soon!”
