The Milligan College Campus Activities Board (CAB) threw a “silent disco” on Nov. 8 in Lower Seegar.
Jason Onks, director of the campus activities, explained to the Stampede what went into the event. “I have done these with an organization I work with and thought it would be something fun and different to do here on campus,” Onks said.
During a silent disco or party, all attendees wear headphones that play the same music. Milligan’s first-ever silent disco was no different. 41 wireless headphones were placed on a table near the entrance for student use.
Lower Seeger was decked out in fluorescent lights shining from the walls. People’s heads were aglow from the lit-up headphones, and Milligan students were dancing to music only they could hear.
The wireless headsets glowed with a blue light and played the same song for everyone to listen to. The volume of the headphones was virtually noise canceling. After one donned a set, trying to get their attention by merely talking to them was extremely difficult. “The headphones were the best part,” freshman Caleb Archer said.
Look out for the headphones, music and another silent disco sometime in the future. Onks explained that another silent disco may “likely for a TWIRP event next school year.”
