Shippensburg University’s Activities Programming Board (APB) hosted a Halloween dance in the CUB Amphitheater on the night of Oct. 11.
The dance featured live music, fall-themed snacks and drinks, and a Ship Eatz food truck serving Raider Bowls outside the event for attendees to enjoy.
Many students attended the dance, some of which dressed up in Halloween costumes in the hopes of winning the costume contest that would be held later in the night.
Spooky decorations completed the Halloween aesthetic outside, with caution tape lining the steps right onto the dance floor.
Live music from a local band called Unconventional Origin was the centerpiece for the dance.
The band played both covers and original songs. Unconventional Origin originated in Shippensburg and Newville, Pennsylvania, and plays classic rock, metal and some country.
APB member Anna Bealer commented on the primary goal in holding the dance. “[We wanted] to bring live music back on campus,” Bealer said.
Thiegoal proved successful for the group, as many attendees gathered at tables with friends to listen to the music, dance along and get in the Halloween spirit.
