The Bulldog Bash kicked off an exciting weekend for Texas Lutheran University. With the promise of free t-shirts and a concert featuring R&B singer B. Smyth, the Bulldog Bash rallied a great crowd. The event spearheaded a historical Saturday evening game where the Bulldog football team won their first game at the new Bulldog Stadium. Students packed a large crowd in Jackson Park on Friday, enjoying the music with friends after picking up their 2014 “Gold Rush” t-shirts.

The Campus Activities Board (CAB) hosted Friday’s event. CAB member Elyse Hlavinka said “We began planning for this event last year. It took us a while to figure out who we wanted to come to campus and had to be sure to book them early.” Based on Friday’s turnout, it seems like all the planning paid off.

Other members of CAB and Student Government Association were in attendance and hard at work handing out shirts and throwing glow sticks and necklaces into the concert crowd around the stage.

“It’s pretty awesome to have an artist like this here at TLU,” senior Kim Leschber commented on B. Smyth’s performance, “he sounds great!” Bulldog Bash helped set the tone for a historical weekend in school history and marked the start of a great year for TLU.
