The crowd was roaring Friday night as Mike Posner and Far East Movement took the stage in the Gordon Field House. Students were yelling and cheering, waving their hands in the air, waiting for that moment when the first artist would emerge from backstage.
“It was exhilarating, it was mind-blowing. I’m just very glad I went. The energy was so insane, it was amazing,” said first-year Briana Kendall. Briana had bought her ticket back in September, fully ready to go the night of the show. She even received an RIT hockey jersey from Mike Posner himself. “Mike Posner gave me his autographed RIT hockey jersey that he wore. It was the last act of the entire show. He took off his shirt and ran through the crowd and gave it to me.”
Far East Movement also performed at the show. “It was so crazy. Their energy and their songs, it just touched you. You connected with the music so well,” said Kendall.
Briana wasn’t the only one to enjoy the show. Fellow students and community members all got to experience the music from these major hip-hop stars. Some students even got to meet the members at Far East Movement when they made a stop at TC Riley’s in Park Point.
