Sing Song Hosts and Hostesses

This year’s Sing Song hosts and hostesses have been chosen.

The hosts and hostesses are: Ryan Woods, Jonathan Steffins, Joshua Alexander, Gabrielle Thompson, Lauren Milam and Sarah Yarbrough.

In order to be a Sing Song host or hostess one must have junior level hours, a 2.5 GPA and a good standing with the university. Over the course of a two-day audition process, a panel of judges evaluates the vocal performance, stage presence and song interpretation skills of those who audition.

“The hosts and hostesses are a long-standing tradition of ACU Sing Song,” Tom Craig, director of student activities and productions said. “Their roles began and still serves as an exciting filler during the transitions from one act to another.”

Ryan Woods, junior kinesiology major from Mesquite, said he dreamed of being a Sing Song host before even enrolling in classes at ACU.

“I went to Sing Song twice before I was a freshman at ACU, and each time I went, I knew for a fact that I wanted to be a Sing Song host,” Woods said. “It has literally been a dream of mine to be on that Sing Song stage, and now God has blessed me with the opportunity to live out that dream!”

Much like Woods, Sarah Yarbrough, a senior marketing major from Farmers Branch, said she has wanted to be a Sing Song hostess for years and that the tradition is very special to her.

“I have wanted to be a hostess since the first time I attended Sing Song in middle school,” Yarbrough said. “Sing Song helped connect me my freshman year to some of my closest friends, so it is very near and dear to my heart.”

This is ACU’s 60th Sing Song and Craig said he believes in this year’s group of hosts to keep up the over half-a-centuries long tradition.

“They all have high energy and great stage presence,” Craig said. “This year’s show will be our 60th Sing Song at ACU, and this group will definitely be an exclamation point on that milestone.”
