(0)Quad Jam celebrated its 30th Anniversary on April 24, 2010. Manhattanville’s largest tradition provided the usual: food, fun, games, and music. During the day, students showcased their talents whether it was with their bands, their dance teams, or an instrument. If you weren’t a performer you were not left out. Alumni and current undergraduates alike, came together and partook in various games and activities such as rock-climbing, a food-eating contest, moon-bouncing, and just simply enjoying the beautiful day out on Manhattanville’s signature Quad. After a long day of fun, students enjoyed a BBQ out on the Quad while dancing to their favorite music and patiently awaiting the main event. This year there were two headliners prepared to perform. Both rapper Fabolous and ska punk band Reel Big Fish, took over the stage with amazing performances. During an interview with the lead singer of Reel Big Fish Aaron Asher Barrett, when asked what’s the first thing that goes through his mind when he gets on stage, “oh my gosh my mic stand is too high,” he replied laughingly. Being apart of the band since it came into existence in 1991, Barrett explained as long as the crowd is pumped, there is no reason to be nervous, “we just go out there and do what we love to do,” he said. That’s exactly what the headliners did. Reel Big Fish after they performed their set, came back out by popular demand with an encore performance. The fun didn’t stop there. After the two big concerts, and the half an hour fireworks display students topped off the night with an after party held in the cafeteria. With such an amazing event filled with fun, friends, and food, we all can hold these memories in our hearts and minds, and use them as a reminder of what a great school Manhattanville College truly is.
