Excitement filled the student union at the University of Central Florida Wednesday afternoon as students awaited the UCF Homecoming 2015 theme reveal.
Three banners dropped reading Knights Come Together along with a banner with symbols of love and peace, revealing that this year’s homecoming will be 60’s themed to embrace the hippie era.
“It brings everything together. The 60’s was all about peace,” said UCF junior Health Science major Michael John. “UCF is promoting unity and all of us coming together,” John added.
“The theme is open for interpretation,” said Rebecca Reichel, a senior Early Childhood Major and special events coordinator for homecoming.
Brittany Jones, a sophomore character animation major said, “I haven’t seen any theme like this in all the schools I’ve attended. I want to see everyone’s interpretation of old school.”
Additionally, the comedians for the comedy show and the artists for the concert was also announced. Damon Wayans Jr. will take the stage, along with Jimmy Tatro. Country artists “Dan + Shay” will be performing at the concert and their opener will be hip-hop artist Big Sean.
Senior Julian Vann, a business management major said it’s cool that UCF got Big Sean and a good comedy show.
“I’m going to be there, it’s going to be lit,” Vann said.
Joey Wolf, a senior Finance major and the executive director of homecoming said we are hoping that homecoming 2015 is that and more.
“We are all stronger together and we make our school great,” Wolf said.
