Each year, Broncos eagerly await the arrival of the highly anticipated back-to-school concert  hosted by ASI’s Bronco Events and Activities Team (BEAT): BroncoFusion. The concert took place on Friday, September 23 at Bronco Commons. This year’s headliner was festival favorite, Carnage with special guest Super Duper Kyle.

The back to school festivities started early with a resource fair on Wednesday, September 21 in the Bronco Student Center (BSC, Bldg. 35) where students could pick up an ASI student planner for the academic school year and learn more about the programs and services available to them. Students were also invited to attend a club fair on Friday, September 23 hours before the event.

“The biggest perk of tabling during BroncoFusion is the exposure,” said fourth-year computer information system student, Matthew Sprengel. “It was awesome to see so many students interested in clubs and organizations on campus.”

At 8 p.m., students began to line up around Bronco Commons, itching to get inside to try the many food trucks, check out the setup and snag the perfect spot for Carnage’s set.

Students were given light-up bracelets at the door, compliments of ASI, and ushered to Bronco Commons, which had been transformed into the perfect outdoor concert venue. Opening acts included electronic DJ Ocean Roulette and rapper Super Duper Kyle.

“It was really nice that they [BEAT] were able to put on an event like this on a budget,” said third-year philosophy student, Rosario Jones. “I think it’s pretty amazing for Cal Poly to do this.”

Carnage took to the stage, much to the awe of CPP students.
