The Student Leadership Association (SLA) is hosting a Game Day event centered on the video game Guitar Hero at Sinclair Community College.
“Bring your competitive spirit [and] win some prizes,” Jasmine Rogers, student event coordinator with SLA said.
The competition will take place on Thursday, Feb. 23 from 12 to 3 p.m. in the stage area of Building 8.
“Everybody loves Guitar Hero,” said Rogers.
This Game Day is intended to provide a way for students to take a break from homework, relieve stress and meet new people, she said.
Rogers said that she didn’t think that this game has been played in Building 8 before.
“I just thought it would be fun,” she said. “We welcome everybody.”
Besides wanting to provide a way for students to relieve stress, Rogers also wants to see new people visit Building 8 and encourage people to try something new.
“We are trying to provide a stress free environment during midterms,” Rogers said. “ We also want to show people what SLA is really about so that they can come to our future events.”
“Be an active Tartan,” added Miesha Russell, student event volunteer for SLA.
The competition will begin with whoever picks up the guitars used in the game, said Rogers, adding these first players will be against each other from the beginning.
The game will be played on the Wii video game console, Russell said.
Rogers also said that “all skill levels are welcome” to play the game and compete for prizes.
Rogers is not saying what prizes will be given to winners at the tournament.
“You have to play to find out,” she said, smiling.
SLA offers different events monthly, Russell said.
“It may not be a game day,” said Rogers of these future events. However, every event offers to participants fun activities and “awesome stuff” to take with them, she said.
