Extra-Va-Ganza

                  There are only a select few people who understand what the Extravaganza event truly means, but on Saturday, April 24, 2010 it was seen again.
                  Africa In Motion (AIM) prepared heavily for the huge audience attending this annual event. The only issue is no one can ever truly be completely prepared. The crowd becomes so big every year. AIM Alumni, Utica College Alumni, friends and family of performers waited impatiently on line. Prior to the event, AIM advertised to the fullest this year. They reserved a showcase in front of the Student Activities Office and left a sign standing there for people coming through Strebel Student Center.

                  There were many plans in advanced for everything. It appeared to be a mini-fashion show as everyone came dressed up with their best outfits. The dancers came more prepared to give their audience a show. Through the disappointments, excitement, happiness, and confusion, AIM and the other groups managed to forget about all the mixed emotion from the audience. People remained in their chairs and others stood on their feet. Regardless, everyone enjoyed some part of the show. This in all you can say is a true accomplishment!
