The day started halfway the midday with a closed opening with amongst other activities, a speech by Henk Kuiper on the influence of Usva on his life and a toast by Elmer Sterken with a bottle of Usva-beer on a prosperous future of the Student Culture Centre Usva.
The reunion started in the evening. Everyone who once has been involved with Usva was invited. Old-employers, board members, teachers and committee members enjoyed of an evening full of activities, existing of performances by the present and old Usva band, Pop choir Estrellas, Groninger Studentenkoor, the Musical Choir, Sorry John and the beer yoga and improv theater workshops.
As a big bang, a big party was organized in the Puddingfabriek, which was opened by the rockband MOOON. After this great kickoff, the audience was invited to steal the show during the performance of the Tante Joke Karaoke Band. You could choose your favorite song and sing it together with a friend on stage. After the bands the DJ duo Black Dynamite closed the evening!
We hope that everyone who celebrated this day with us enjoyed it as much as we did. Throughout the year, more great events will be organized to celebrate this glory year. So keep an eye on our social media channels and website!
