This year, Winston-Salem State has added some new elements to the Homecoming Concert. In addition to the music artists, there will be modeling as well as a party. This year’s show and afterparty will take place Friday, 9 p.m., at the Millennium Center in downtown Winston- Salem, and features Huey, Rich Boy and The Backyard Band.
There are ticket packages for multiple events for $22 for WSSU students. Advance concert tickets without the package are $20 and $25 at the door. For the general public, it is $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets are being sold at the Anderson Center ticket office, and there will even be a few events in the breezeway where tickets will be sold and given away.
“I think once the students get there, they will enjoy it,” said Alonzo Roberts, SGA Secretary of Commuter Students.
There will be three floors, one including a neo-soul band, and overall three levels of entertainment. With a variety of events going on in one night, students are excited about various aspects.
Marsalis James, a junior, says he is most excited about Rip the Runway event and the after party as well.
“The lineup has a good variety of music, such as go-go, and rap,” James said.
Jennifer Patterson, a junior, said she is looking forward to seeing her friends perform.
“I am excited about Epiphany [modeling troupe] walking because I know them,” she said.
