Airbandz Celebrates 10th Anniversary in Style!

February 9th marked the tenth edition of 'Airbandz', presented by Laurentian University. Over the years, this event has become the most highly anticipated event of the year, with a capacity crowd each year. The event features students from all areas of campus, all showcasing their humour, confidence, and dancing ability.
However, the sense of laughter and unity that comes with Airbandz is merely a side note  as the true purpose of Airbandz is to raise money for Cancer Research. Over the years, the Laurentian community has contributed over $100,000, with last years performance raising an unprecedented $21,000, a new record. However, this year was a new story, with a staggering $23,000 dollars raised overall. This was thanks to the continued support of the entire Laurentian community.

This year featured an array of talent, with 'The Celebration' emerging as the winners after a jaw-dropping display. Engaging music, coordinated dance moves, and excellent athleticism helped edge them over the opposition to leave the audience on their feet in the Frazer Auditorium.

A huge thank-you goes out to all those who helped plan, and run the event. Yet again, it was a night to remember that was enjoyed by all around.

New Semester, New Events!

This semester is set to be a great one here in Laurentian Residence!

Zumba is back, as well as the newly created 'Boot Camp', which allows students to come out and enhance their fitness without even leaving the building!

Also, Airbandz is fast approaching and teams are already feeling the pressure of perfecting their dance moves. Airbandz is one of the most amazing events of the year, and is a night of laughter, cheers, entertainment, and most importantly, a night of charity.

Be sure to go see your friends, RA's, PM's and classmates all strut their stuff to some of the most well known songs of all time!

All donations towards Airbandz are greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you there !

Here are a couple of samples of what's in store !
