Gallery: Backroads closes Homecoming with outdoor concert

October 17, 2021 by Shelly Womack

After a day full of Homecoming activities, students, alumni and community members wrapped up their time on campus with a Backroads concert at Siggie Pavilion. Backroads is led by alumnus Stephen Bailey. The band covered many famous rock songs, including as “Hotel California,” “Brown-eyed Girl” and “Neon Moon.” The Office of Alumni Relations provided stations to roast marshmallows alongside other dessert options and raffled off gifts throughout the night.

"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."
