MORNINGS ON THE HILL
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 2019

GOOD MORNING. I’M SAM CARTER. THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
AND I’M FAITH CAIN. HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE STORIES WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT IN OUR FIRST HALF HOUR.

A FEMALE-RUN ART EXHIBIT IS TOUCHING ON SOME VERY SERIOUS ISSUES. OUR REPORTER ALEXANDRIA BENNETT WILL TELL US ABOUT THE IMPACT THEIR ART IS MAKING.
THERE’S A VERY EXCITING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY ON CAMPUS. WE’LL TELL YOU HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED, AND HELP THE LIVES OF CHILDREN IN OUR AREA.
AND FINALLY, THE NEW YORK METS WERE IN TOWN YESTERDAY. WE’LL TAKE YOU TO THE CARRIER DOME FOR A LOOK INSIDE THEIR FINAL SPRING TRAINING PRACTICE.
ALL THAT PLUS YOUR WEATHER AND ORANGE SPORTS COMING UP ON THIS EDITION OF MORNINGS ON THE HILL.

OUR TOP STORY THIS HOUR. HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS WILL GATHER TONIGHT FOR SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY’S ANNUAL TAKE BACK THE NIGHT EVENT.
OUR OLIVIA PROYA IS LIVE AT HENDRICKS CHAPEL WHERE THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE. SHE’S JOINED BY ONE OF THE CO-CHAIRS OF THE EVENT. SO OLIVIA WHAT EXACTLY IS TAKE BACK THE NIGHT?

THANK YOU FAITH. TAKE BACK THE NIGHT IS AN EVENT THAT IS HELD ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND TONIGHT IT WILL BE HAPPENING RIGHT HERE AT SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY. STUDENTS WILL GATHER RIGHT HERE AT HENDRICK’S CHAPEL TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST SEXUAL VIOLENCE, RELATIONSHIP VIOLENCE, AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE.
I’M JOINED BY VANESSA RAMLAL, WHO’S THE CO-CHAIR OF THE TAKE BACK THE NIGHT PLANNING COMMITTEE. SO VANESSA…
WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING AT THE EVENT TONIGHT?

WHAT KIND OF TURNOUT ARE YOU EXPECTING–WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE IN YEARS PAST?
SO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT–LITERALLY, IT IS ABOUT FEELING SAFE IN THE COMMUNITY AT NIGHT, AND BEING ABLE TO OUT AT NIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT AS IT RELATES TO THE S-U CAMPUS AND NEARBY COMMUNITY?

IN WHAT OTHER WAYS DOES THIS EVENT HELPS THE SU COMMUNITY-WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
THIS EVENT IS SEVERAL YEARS OLD–DO YOU FEEL IT’S EVEN IMPORTANT NOW AND WHY?
S-U’S ANNUAL TAKE BACK THE NIGHT WILL BE HELD RIGHT HERE IN HENDRICKS CHAPEL STARTING AT 7PM TONIGHT. FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M OLIVIA PROIA.

A NEW ART EXHIBIT ON CAMPUS IS ADDRESSING SOME HEAVY ISSUES. THE TWO-WOMAN EXHIBIT OPENED FRIDAY AT THE RANDOM ACCESS GALLERY IN SMITH HALL. ALEXANDRIA BENNETT IS LIVE IN STUDIO TO SHARE SOME DETAILS.

I CHECKED OUT THE ART EXHIBIT AND CAUGHT UP WITH ONE OF THE FEATURED ARTIST.
THE EXHIBIT IS TITLED “SKIN IN THE GAME” AND FOCUSES ON BRINGING AWARENESS TO SEXUALITY, GENDER AND EMPOWERMENT.

MALENA BARNHART IS AN ARTIST BASED OUT OF ARIZONA. BARNHART CREATES SCULPTURES, VINYL AND VIDEO PIECES. WHEN CREATING ARTWORK, BARNHART KEEPS IN MIND HER GOAL TO CHALLENGE THE VIEWER.

“I feel like the best art, and just a good general practice as a human is to take your own beliefs out and see if they hold true. Poke at them. See if they hold up.”

BARNHART SAYS THE FUEL BEHIND HER LATEST CREATIONS STEM FROM HER FRUSTRATION WITH CURRENT ISSUES IN THE NEWS, SPECIFICALLY THE ME TOO MOVEMENT AND ASSAULTS ON WOMEN.
SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE STUDENT REGAN HENLEY PUT THE SHOW TOGETHER. SHE’S HOPEFUL STUDENTS WILL SUPPORT THE ART AND THAT IT WILL BRING SOMETHING LARGER TO CAMPUS.

“I think that confrontational art is going to be important in getting people to have the conversations that we need to have in order to move forward with the way that we run our society.”

“SKIN IN THE GAME” WILL BE ON CAMPUS FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS, SO HEAD OVER TO SMITH HALL AND CHECK IT OUT. CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND SEE WHERE IT TAKES YOU. I’M ALEXANDRA BENNETT FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL.

TIME TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY.

KAYLA BURTON IS LIVE OUT ON UNIVERSITY AVE TO TELL US WHAT TO EXPECT.
THANKS KENDRA… WELL EVERYONE IF YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING FEELING A LITTLE SLUGLISH FOR WHATEVER REASON…IVE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU…. THE SUN IS OUT AND THERE IS NO SNOW ON THE GROUND! AND THIS IS PLEASANT SURPRISE FOR SYRACUSE SO LETS SEE WHAT’S IN STORE FOR TODAY.
AND THEN LATER TONIGHT IT’LL DROP TO ABOUT 37 DEGREES.
BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO.

STUDENTS WITH PEANUT ALLERGIES CAN FEEL A LITTLE SAFER WHILE CHOWING DOWN ON CAMPUS.
THAT’S RIGHT! THE FOOD SERVICES PRODUCTION KITCHEN HAS RECENTLY BECOME “CERTIFIED FREE” FROM PEANUT AND TREE NUT ALLERGENS.
FOOD SERVICES PRODUCTION IS WHERE MOST OF THE FOOD ON CAMPUS IS MADE, SO THIS WILL IMPACT ALL YOUR FAVORITE EATERIES AROUND THE UNIVERSITY.
THIS IS ALL PART OF S-U’S THREE YEAR PLAN TO MAKE DINING FACILITIES SAFER. BY GETTING RID OF THOSE ALLERGENS, ALL STUDENTS CAN FEEL CONFIDENT IN THEIR FOOD CHOICES.

FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST YEAR SU WILL HOST ONE-HUNDRED FIFTH GRADERS FROM SYRACUSE’S SEYMOUR ACADEMY FOR SHADOW DAY.
THE PROGRAM ALLOWS SEYMOUR STUDENTS TO FOLLOW CURRENT SYRACUSE STUDENTS FOR THE DAY. BUT THIS YEAR THEY ARE SHORT ON VOLUNTEERS. SO THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS REACHING OUT TO THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY. THEY SAY THE PERFECT STUDENT VOLUNTEER IS JUST SOMEONE WHO LOVES S-U.

IF YOU’D LIKE TO VOLUNTEER FOR SHADOW DAY, CONTACT THE OFFICE FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGMENT AT 3-1-5-4-4-3-5-5-9-3.

AS A SELF IDENTIFIED HALF-INDIAN HALF-PAKISTANI MUSLIM, LOWER MIDDLE CLASS WOMAN, SHE SAYS SHE’S READY TO SEE REPRESENTATION CHANGE ON THIS CAMPUS.
TOGETHER, MERTIKAS AND SAIED ARE RUNNING WITH 5 PILLARS IN MIND.
“The first one is diversity and inclusion, second one is financial accessibility, third is community engagement, fourth is health and wellness and our last one is transparency and accountability, which kind of ties them all together.”

AND LATER THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK WE’LL BE SEEING SOME RAINFALL, LIKE I SAID NOT MUCH SNOWFALL AT LEAST TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK BUT WE WILL EXPECT TO SEE SOME RAIN. TOMORROW THERE IS A 60% CHANCE OF RAIN BUT MORE ON THE WARMER SIDE OF THE WEEK AS WE’LL HIT A HIGH OF 56 DEGREES. FRIDAY IT’LL DROP ONLY A LITTLE TO A HIGH OF 49 DEGREES AND A LOW OF 36 WITH A 40% CHANCE OF RAIN. BUT SATURDAY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE JUMP TO A HIGH OF 66 DEGREES, SO AS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE SAYS A LITTLE RAIN CAN’T HURT NOBODY! IT WILL BE MUCH WARMER AND THEN ON SUNDAY WE WILL SEE RAIN AND TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO A LOW OF 28 DEGREES AND HIGH OF 40 DEGREES.
I’M KAYLA BURTON FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL–BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO.
ONE ENGINEERING STUDENT IS LOOKING TO MAKE STUDENTS FEEL SAFER WHEN THEY ARE ON AND OFF CAMPUS.
JACLYN HIN-GREE HAS BEEN WORKING ON A WEARABLE DEVICE CALLED HALO THAT ALLOWS STUDENTS TO CALL FOR HELP IN AN INSTANT.
SO HOW IT WORKS IS STUDENTS HAVE A DEVICE THEY CAN WEAR AS A BRACELET OR ATTACH TO A KEY CHAIN. IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE ARE IN DANGER. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DEVICE THREE TIMES AND IT WILL SEND A DISTRESS SIGNAL TO LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH YOUR EXACT LOCATION. HIN-GREE WILL BE PRESENTING HER DEVICE TO INVESTORS AT A NATIONAL COMPETITION IN TEXAS NEXT WEEK.
IT’S SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY’S 149TH BIRTHDAY ON SUNDAY AND THE CAMPUS IS CELEBRATING ALL WEEK LONG.
SU WILL BE HOSTING A VARIETY OF EVENTS THIS WEEK INCLUDING SALES AT THE BOOKSTORE SO YOU CAN SAVE ON ALL YOUR FAVORITE ORANGE APPAREL. THERE’S ALSO ICE CREAM TASTING AND MUCH MORE. FOREVER ORANGE WEEK WILL CULMINATE WITH THE ORANGE CIRCLE AWARDS STARTING AT 5PM ON THURSDAY IN THE SCHINE STUDENT SECTION. ALUMNI ARE ALSO PARTICIPATING IN SERVICE PROJECTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN EFFORTS TO MAKE THEIR COMMUNITIES A BETTER PLACE.

IT’S BEYOND THE MIDWAY MARK HERE AT SYRACUSE AND THE ONLY THING PEOPLE WANT TO FEEL IS RELAXED DURING THIS TIME.
STARTING THIS EVENING THE UNIVERSITY IS HOSTING AN EVENT SPECIFICALLY FOR FACULTY AND STAFF HERE AT SYRACUSE THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO DO JUST THAT.
A YOGA CLASS WILL BE HELD ON CAMPUS AT SIMS HALL FROM 5:30 TO 6:30 TONIGHT. SYRACUSE’S CERTIFIED YOGI, PERFORMER AND MUSIC TEACHER LAURA ENSLIN WILL BE INSTRUCTING THE CLASS.
IT MAY BE DARK OUTSIDE BUT THE EXPERIENCE INSIDE IS WELL WORTH THE EFFORT TO GET THERE.
THE CLASS WILL BE HELD AT SIMS HALL, LOCATED ON FLOOR-ONE IN ROOM 123.
SYRACUSE STUDENT RACHEL GOOSE SAYS AFTER LONG DAYS IN THE CLASSROOM FACULTY SHOULD DEFINITELY ATTEND.
THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE RIGHT NEXT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, IN SIMS HALL ROOM 123. IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS YOU CAN EMAIL WELLNESS@SYR.EDU.
WELL IF FINALS AND GRADUATION HAVE YOU ALL WOUND UP, TRY DESTRESSING WITH MEDITATION RIGHT HERE ON CAMPUS.
S-U’S LERNER CENTER FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PROMOTION IS OFFERING MEDITATION ON MONDAYS. STUDENTS LIKE BRYAN SANCHEZ SAY THAT MONDAYS HAVE BECOME HIS KICK START TO A LESS STRESSFUL WEEK.
MEDIATION MONDAYS STARTED IN JANUARY AND GOES THROUGH END OF APRIL. SINCE BRYAN HAS BEEN GOING TO THE MEDITATION MONDAYS, HE SAYS HE HAS EVEN STARTED TO MEDITATE ON HIS OWN.
STUDENTS WHO WANT TO TRY DESTRESSING CAN GO TO THE HENDRICKS CHAPEL EVERY MONDAY BETWEEN NOON AND ONE P-M TO MEDITATE.
COMING UP HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL–
DPS RELEASES A MAP OF THEIR JURISDICTION AFTER THREE S-U STUDENTS WERE ATTACKED LAST MONTH

ALSO COMING UP.NEWHOUSE STUDENTS GET A CHANCE TO DO SOME INTERIOR DECORATING.
STAY WITH US FOR THOSE STORIES AND MUCH MORE HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
WELCOME BACK. IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY ON CAMPUS–YOU CALL D-P-S. BUT IF YOU’RE OFF-CAMPUS –WILL SYRACUSE POLICE RESPOND INSTEAD?
IT’S A QUESTION OF JURISDICTION. OUR DANIEL BOOTH IS LIVE IN STUDIO TO TELL US WHAT D-P-S IS DOING TO TRY AND CLEAR UP ANY CONFUSION.
AFTER THE ASSAULT ON ACKERMAN AVENUE LAST MONTH, THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY IS MAKING AN EFFORT TO HAVE ITS LEADERS AND OFFICERS MORE READILY AVAILABLE TO THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY. D-P-S IS HIGHLIGHTING ITS JURISDICTION BOTH ON AND OFF CAMPUS, SO STUDENTS KNOW WHERE THEY CAN DEPEND ON D-P-S.
RYAN IS ONE OF THE MANY SYRACUSE STUDENTS TAKING THEIR SAFETY INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.
THERE’S BEEN SOME CONFUSION OVER THE JURISDICTION OF THE CAMPUS POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND THIS WEEK D-P-S DECIDED TO DO OMETHING ABOUT IT.
BEFORE THE MAP, THERE WEREN’T A LOT OF STUDENTS LIVING CLOSE TO CAMPUS WHO KNEW WHETHER IT WAS BETTER TO CALL D-P-S, OR THE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THERE WAS A PUBLIC FORUM HELD AFTER THE ASSAULTS ON ACKERMAN AVE LAST MONTH. STUDENTS CAME FORWARD AND DISCUSSED THE NEED FOR D-P-S TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT.
CLARIFYING THE JURISDICTION LINES HAVE ALREADY HAD POSITIVE RESULTS.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE MAP FOR YOURSELF, GO TO WWW-DOT-D-P-S-DOT-S-Y-R-DOT-E-D-U, AND CLICK JURISDICTION UNDER THE LAW ENFORCEMENT TAB. REPORTING LIVE IN STUDIO, I’M DANIEL BOOTH FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL. ABIGAIL AND KENDRA, BACK TO YOU.
IF YOU’RE A NEWHOUSE STUDENT AND YOU’VE GONE TO FOOD DOT COM IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED SOME NEW FURNITURE.
UNFORTUNATELY THE DINING CENTER ISN’T GETTING A MAKE-OVER, BUT ONE SECTION OF NEWHOUSE IS, AND YOU GET THE CHANCE TO HELP DESIGN IT.
STUDENTS HAVE BEEN VOTING ON NEW CHAIRS ALL WEEK TO REPLACE THE INFAMOUS ORANGE ONES IN THE MOWER BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS NEWHOUSE ONE AND TWO. THOSE ORANGE CHAIRS HAVE BEEN IN NEWHOUSE FOR ELEVEN YEARS.
“So we’re replacing the chairs in the bridge between Newhouse one and two and we wanted to give students the opportunity to vote and give their opinion since they’re the ones sitting in it.”
FEEL FREE TO STOP BY AND TRY THEM OUT LIKE SOME OF THESE GUYS ARE, AND THE NEW FURNITURE WILL HOPEFULLY BE IN NEWHOUSE BY THE FALL. VOTING ENDS TODAY SO MAKE SURE TO PICK OUT YOUR FAVORITE.
WELCOME BACK TO MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M FERNANDO GARCIA-FRANCESCHINI. A GROUP OF S-U STUDENTS TRAVELED TO WASHINGTON D-C TO LEARN ABOUT GOVERNMENT ISSUES AND SPEAK TO POLICY MAKERS. WE’RE JOINED THIS MORNING BY REBECCA GOODSELL, A POLITICAL SCIENCE SENIOR THAT TOOK PART IN THIS TRIP. GOOD MORNING, REBECCA. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
QUESTIONS:
1. HOW DID THIS TRIP COME TO BE? DID YOU HAVE TO APPLY? WERE YOU SELECTED?
2. WHO WERE YOU MOST EXCITED TO TALK TO IN DC AND WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT WITH THAT PERSON?
3. WHAT SURPRISED YOU THE MOST ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE?
4. BEFORE COMING ON THE AIR YOU MENTIONED TO ME THAT THIS EXPERIENCE REAFFIRMED YOUR INTEREST IN WORKING IN DC, HOW COME?
5. HOW WAS IT GOING THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER FELLOW S-U STUDENTS?
THANK YOU AGAIN REBECCA FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING YOU TAKE DC BY STORM. FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M FERNANDO GARCIA-FRANCESCHINI.
GOOD MORNING I’M TAMAR TURNER WITH YOUR ORANGE SPORTS UPDATE HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
MARCH IS HERE AND IT HAS BROUGHT ALL THE MADNESS ALONG WITH IT. THE WOMEN ARE STILL GOING STRONG AS THEY HOSTED THE SECOND ROUND AT THE CARRIER DOME ON MONDAY. THE ORANGE WERE LOOKING TO BEAT SOUTH DAKOTA STATE TO ADVANCE TO THE SWEET 16 FOR THE SECOND TIME IN FOUR YEARS. BUT THE REAL STORY OF THE NIGHT.POINT GUARD AND AUSTRALIAN SENSATION TIANA MANGAKAHIA
GOING IN TO THE GAME, TIANA NEEDED EIGHT ASSISTS TO BREAK THE SYRACUSE CAREER RECORD WHICH IS 590 HELD BY ALEXIS PATTERSON.
SHE FINISHED THE REGULAR SEASON WITH 268 ASSISTS, WHICH WAS THE MOST IN THE NATION. NOT ONLY HAS TIANA BEEN SELECTED FOR THE ALL-ACC FIRST TEAM BUT ALSO THE ALL ACC-TOURNAMENT FIRST TEAM. THE ORANGE CAME UP SHORT, BUT TIANA SET A NEW SYRACUSE RECORD WITH 591 ASSISTS. AFTER A 25-9 FINISH TO THE SEASON COACH Q EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPROVING AS THEY MOVE FORWARD.
BUT BASKETBALL ISN’T THE ONLY TEAM INVOLVED IN THE MADNESS AS THE WOMEN’S LACROSSE TEAM IS ON HOT STREAK AFTER WINNING THEIR LAST FOUR GAMES. A COMPLETE TURNAROUND FROM LAST SEASON THE ORANGE ARE RANKED NUMBER FOUR IN THE I-W-L-C-A POLL AND ARE 10-2 ON THE SEASON.
THE ORANGE OFFENSE IS LED BY JUNIOR EMILY HARRIS-CHUCK WHO HAS 129 CAREER GOALS EARNING HER THE 11TH SPOT ON THE SYRACUSE ALL-TIME LIST. OF THE 12 GAMES SO FAR, SHE HAS SCORED FOUR OR MORE GOALS IN 10 OF THEM. AS OF LAST WEEK, 3 ORANGE PLAYERS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE TEWAARTON AWARD WATCHLIST INCLUDING HARRIS-CHUCK, NICOLE LEE-VEE, AND FRESHMAN SARAH COOPER. BUT ON THE DEFENSIVE END ASA GOLDSTOCK HAS BEEN ALMOST UNSTOPPABLE IN THE NET AND NOW HAS 400 CAREER SAVES. SYRACUSE LOOKS TO KEEP THE WIN STREAK ALIVE AS THEY HOST ALBANY TONIGHT IN THE CARRIER DOME AT 6 P-M.
AND THE 28 GAME ROAD STREAK COMES TO AN END FOR SOFTBALL AS THEY HOST NIAGRA TODAY AT 4 P-M IN THE SKYTOP STADIUM. THAT’S YOUR SPORTS UPDATE—I’M TAMAR TURNER; GO ORANGE!
STILL TO COME HERE ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL.
WE’LL TAKE AN INSIDE LOOK AT A SINGER-SONGWRITER FOR TONIGHT’S PRISM CONCERT.
WELCOME BACK.
LOOKING TO GO TO A FREE CONCERT?
TONIGHT IS THE SCHOOL OF VISUAL AND PERFORMING ART’S 20TH ANNUAL PRISM CONCERT.
THE SHOW HIGHLIGHTS STUDENT PEROFRMERS FROM ACROSS CAMPUS.
OUR OWN GILAT MELAMED JOINS US NOW LIVE WITH ONE OF THOSE ARTIST’S STORY.
PRISM IS A 360 DEGREE EXPERIENCE FEATURING COLORFUL LIGHTS ALL THROUGHOUT THE THEATER.
THIS ORIGINAL EVENT ALSO HAS SOME STUDENTS PERFORMING THEIR OWN ORIGINAL SONGS.
I HAVE A SNEAK PEEK AT WHAT ONE OF THOSE ARTISTS WILL BE SINGING TONIGHT.
JORDAN REYNOSO IS A JUNIOR MUSIC INDUSTRY MAJOR PRACTICING HER NEWEST ORIGINAL SONG DAYDREAM.
REYNOSO WILL BE ONE OF 18 STUDENT MUSIC ACTS AT SU’S SCHOOL OF VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS PRISM CONCERT WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
BUT REYNOSO’S MUSIC CAREER BEGAN LONG BEFORE SHE GOT TO S-U, STARTING WITH PERFORMING OTHER’S SONGS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THEN MAKING MUSIC OF HER OWN
“TONIGHT JORDAN MAY BE PERFORMING HER ORIGINAL SONG DAYDREAM IN FRONT OF A PACKED CROWD HERE AT CROUSE COLLEGE, BUT JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO SHE WAS PERFORMING THAT SONG FOR AN AUDITION TAPE FOR PRODUCER REBECCA ROSS.”
THIS IS REYNOSO’S THIRD YEAR PERFORMING IN THE PRISM CONCERT, BUT TONIGHT SHE SAYS AUDIENCE MEMBERS CAN EXPECT SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. IT WILL BE HER FIRST TIME PERFORMING WITH A BAND.
THIS SONG DAYDREAM IS SO CATCHY THAT I FOUND MYSELF SINGING IT WHILE PUTTING TOGETHER THIS PIECE.
I KNOW I’M NOT THE ONLY- THE PRODUCER SAYS A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE ON CAMPUS KNOW OF JORDAN’S MUSIC, AND SHE EXPECTS JORDAN WILL BRING IN A BIG CROWD TO SETNOR AUDITORIUM AT EIGHT TONIGHT.
LIVE IN THE STUDIO FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M GILAT MELAMED.
