Despite the chilly weather, De Anza students came out to support and enjoy some karaoke on Jan.19. 

The Inter Club Council held Club Karaoke on the patio stage outside the Hinson Student Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

  Kevin Halim the ICC Chair of Programs said the event was organized to get students excited for Club Day on Jan. 26, and also to “promote diversity and to get the clubs together.”

  As incentive for participating, the first few performers received gift certificates to In-N-Out Burger, and any clubs that had a singer represent them were entered in a drawing for $50.

Coco Garcia, 46, a first-timer at De Anza this winter quarter, praised the event for showing off how many different clubs are available at De Anza.

“There’s so many great clubs,” said Garcia. “I like the diversity at De Anza. There’s just so many different ethnic groups and it just comes together to form this beautiful rainbow.”

 A variety of clubs were represented by singers including the Vietnamese Student Association, Taekwondo Club, Outdoors Club, All Styles Dance Club, De Anza Cheer and Dance Club, Anime Club, Karate Club and D.A.M.N.

  Garcia was the first student to sing, performing “Little Bad Girl” by David Guetta, but other songs students performed include “Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen, “Lose Yourself” by Eminem, “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys, “If I Were A Boy” by Beyonce Knowles, “Careless Whisper” by George Michael, “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey, “Come Together” by The Beatles, and more.

Halim even got on stage and performed Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day.

The ICC will hold Club Karaoke again next quarter, but some students would like to see it sooner than that.

“I think we should have it more often, maybe once a month,” said Garcia. “More people would probably get involved in the clubs because their interest would be sparked by it.”
