Three seniors going for sixth and seventh Sing Song wins

February 15, 2013 by Brock Niederhofer

Depending on the results of this year’s performances, these three seniors could become some of ACU’s most winning students ever.

This year Lucas Alderete, senior family studies major from Taylor, Bobby Kyle Holden, business marketing major from Frisco, and Matt Sanderson, marketing and finance major from Lubbock, have the chance to be a part of their sixth and seventh winning Sing Song acts.

These three have been a part of their class act since their freshman year, as well as Gamma Sigma Phi club act, since the three pledged in 2010.

“If we win both this year, we’ll have gone seven for seven,” said Alderete. He went on to say, “With practice time alone, we will have put in three hundred hours for Sing Song, not including planning, costumes or dress rehearsals.”

Not only would a win this year be a unique accomplishment for these three, it would also be big for the senior class act as a whole.

“If the senior class wins, it will be the second time in ACU history for a class to have a clean sweep” said Tom Craig, director of student activities and productions.

The last time a class won outright four years in a row was from years 1995 through 1998 according to the Past Winners page on ACU’s website.

“When you put it that way it makes it pretty exciting. Around this time we’re kind of tired of practice, but once the performances come around, you just have to leave it all out on the stage,” said Alderete.

Not only has the senior class won the past three years, GSP has been a dominant force in Sing Song throughout the past decade, having won ten times since 2000. If both the senior class and GSP can pull out a win this year, Alderete, Sanderson, and Holden “-will be in a very elite group if they can achieve that status,” said Craig.

My second year at ACU was full of opportunities that grew me as an individual and a journalist.

In my first year as editor in chief of @acuoptimist, we published six print issues, filmed a 3-hour live election show, and revamped our newscast, all while producing news weekly.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
