I have never been to an open mic before, or anything similar to the open mic, so I didn’t know what to expect. I was happily surprised.

I was able to tell which performances were from first-timers and which were from experienced students. There were certain acts I absolutely loved, like Robo-cop. I loved the movement on stage, and that it wasn’t just words. I enjoyed the performances as well. Everyone that sang or played the guitar put their heart and soul into their performances, and it showed. I would get goosebumps from certain performers. It was unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed, and I am so happy to have attended the open mic.

Brooklyn College has so many talented students, and open mic should be a larger event than it already is. More students should join in and it should be held at the performing arts theater.
