 Student Edward Turner seeks audience participation during his performance. |
WINTERVILLE�They may not have been auditioning to become the next American Idol but that didn�t stop students, faculty and staff at Pitt Community College from having a little fun showcasing their artistic talents this week. PCC�s Student Support Services TRIO Program hosted Open Mic Luau �08 on Thursday in the Fulford Auditorium. The event featured a variety of music and poetry in addition to free food and plenty of laughter. Started in 2006 to give students and employees a break from the books, Open Mic has become a regular occurrence on the PCC campus. Yesterday�s program was the fourth such event at Pitt. While this week�s Open Mic theme centered on all things Hawaiian, last year�s event turned the clock back to the 1970s. Held in September, �Get Groovy with PCC�s Open Mic� encouraged performers and audience members to drag out their bell bottoms and �funkiest threads.�
