WHAT IS SING!?

SING! is a Southwestern University tradition. Originally called, "Sing Song," it was revived in 1980 by Student Foundation and renamed "SING!" It is a musical and theatrical series of performances created by various student organizations and groups. These groups plan several months in advance to compete in SING! in an effort to win prize money. Celebrating its 29th year at Southwestern, this year's theme is "One Hit Wonder," which compliments the Homecoming and Reunion Weekend theme, "Southwestern's Greatest Hits." SING! continues to be produced and coordinated by Student Foundation.
