Kick back with EX.C.E.L.
for Concert and Cocktails
EX.C.E.L. Campus Activities will host Concert and Cocktails at the
Architecture courtyard on Tuesday from 6 p.m.-12 a.m.
The free event will feature the Tommy-O band. Waqar Ghani, EX.C.E.L.
entertainment and arts director, said the band plays a wide variety
of music ranging from island and margaritaville to Latin, jazz and
blues.
People attending the event will be treated to snacks such as cookies
and fruit kabobs and an assortment of other foods. Ghani said beer
and possibly some other beverages will be sold at the concert, and
EX.C.E.L. will also offer its own free nonalcoholic cocktail, the
mocktail.
Ghani said Concert and Cocktails is an open evening event for the
UTA community to take time out and relax.
“It’s just something for them to do during the summer
to keep campus life alive and just have a good time,” he said.
“Whether they want to dance on the dance floor or just lay
back, we just want to provide a comfortable atmosphere.”
