Student Life: Coffee House
Friday the ninth we hosted the student Coffee House. Coffee House is the student’s night to show off their “mad skills” Whether you dance, sing, skit, or otherwise, it’s your night in the spot light. Almost all of the students (and even some faculty) show up to watch.
We put the coffee in “Coffee House” with our java, and drinks. The beverages were balanced out by some great snacks, like homemade chocolate chip cookies, and cake. There were about nine performances ranging from a hilarious skit (featuring a salsa disco fusion) to an incredible performance of “Danny Boy” Every performance was reviewed by a panel of three judges. True to American Idol form some were Simon-ized, others were praised. The judges just kept things interesting; there was no real pressure. By the time the performances had finished up, the night was growing late. Fortunately everyone had enough coffee to keep them going thru the impromptu presidential debate.
We are mid-election season here, and the Coffee House made the perfect platform for our debate. It was a fun way for the student body to learn about the candidate’s views. After the debate the floor was cleared for dancing and the DJ kicked up the music to round out the night. All-in-all, the Coffee House was a blast. Next time you’re here at JP Catholic, be sure to check the schedule for events to see if you can join the entertainment.
