Jazzing up the new academic year

The Orientation Week opening event on Monday took on a distinctly jazzy flavour as local musicians welcomed the first year students by letting the good times roll.

After the formal event at the Monument, a night of jazz, dancing, snacks and wine regaled students, parents and staff in a white marquee set up on the Drosty Lawns.

The Orientation Week opening event on Monday took on a distinctly jazzy flavour as local musicians welcomed the first year students by letting the good times roll.

After the formal event at the Monument, a night of jazz, dancing, snacks and wine regaled students, parents and staff in a white marquee set up on the Drosty Lawns.

With SRC President Eric Ofei as the Master of Ceremonies, remarkable performances by Lucy Kruger, Dave Knowles, Gadra marimba band and the J-Walkers were met with loud bursts of applause and cheers.

“Lucy and Madalan’s voices worked so well together,” said an excited first year Journalism student Bruce Haynes, “they were my favourite act of the night, with Dave Knowles as a close second.”

A special addition to the evening was the presence of esteemed guests including the Chancellor of Rhodes, Prof Jakes Gerwel with Dr Saleem Badat at his side. The presence of staff members from all the faculties allowed the students to meet their lecturers.

Prof Marc Duby, head of the Rhodes music department says, “It was a very successful evening in my opinion, I think it is a wonderful way to introduce students to Rhodes. I do hope that the music
department can be more involved in this event in the future.”
