Sheba 'turns up the heat' in Collis show

By Sarah Mullin | April 29, 1997

Though the temperature in Collis Common Ground on Saturday night was already high, the dance troupe Sheba managed to turn up the heat. With new routines, props, costumes and a sexual tone, Sheba captured and held the attention of the audience. Sizzling with sensuousness, the group blazed through thirteen dances in a performance that capitalized on talent and choreographic variety. An opening video of assembled clips from prior performances grabbed the audience's attention, while the pulsing theme song from "Mission Impossible" prepared them for the high-energy production. Sheba took the stage amidst a smoke screen with Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation." In tight formation, the twenty members impressed the audience with their smooth controlled dancing.

Temptations rock Leede audience

By Arika Easley | April 28, 1997

Leede Arena was packed on Saturday with parents and students who came to see Motown legends, The Temptations, as part of the Freshmen Parents' Weekend festivities. People of various age groups were able to sing along to all of the classic Temptations' songs, and to admire their famous dance routines. Fashion has changed since 1965 -- no more tight, brightly colored suits, "permed" hairdos or thick cat-eyed glasses. Wearing loosely fitted, pastel pink suits, The Temptations have transcended not only their style of dress, visually illustrating the stylistic changes in their music. The group who performed on Saturday consisted of a Music Hall of Fame inductee, the legendary Otis Williams, newcomer Terry Weaks and Harry Barry, Ron Tyson, and Theo Peoples, who have been in the group for several years. Williams spoke during the concert about his experiences in the group for 37 years.
