Tuesday, February 9th was the semi-finals round of Dartmouth Idol. Since its creation in 2008, Dartmouth Idol has become one of the major events of winter term. The competition takes place over the course of 3 rounds: an open try-out round, a semi-finals performance/competition, and a finals performance/competition. Dartmouth students get to decide who advances to the finals and which performer actually wins after attending the semi-final and final rounds respectively. This year, the performers are competing for major prizes. The first prize is $500 and the chance to record a 3-song demo, second prize is $250 and third prize is $100. The singers come from all parts of campus and perform songs from various genres. This year Andrew Rayner ’10 and Harmony Gbe ’10, both Admissions interns, are participating in Dartmouth Idol as a contestant and judge respectively. Whether or not you’re a fan of the original American Idol, Dartmouth Idol is definitely an enjoyable experience.
