The show began at 7:00 pm with a brief introduction about Song- fest by the co-chairmen Lx)lly Braddock and Scott Umberger. 1 think the show came off kxiking very professional and Jules d ' Hemcourt did a lot to make that happen, said Umberger of this year ' s emcee. d ' Hemcourt, who is the advis- er of KLSU, the LSU radio station, and Assistant Professor at the Manship School of Journalism, said that he wanted to make the groups feel proud of the quality of the show. ' ' During the intermission while the judges ' votes were tallied. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and Sigma Alpha lota, both music fraterni- ties, performed their own arrangement of a songfest show. Their medley of TV themes of the 50 ' s and 60 s included such favorites as ' The Jetsons ' and ' Green Acres. As express- ed by the audience ' s response, there has nev- er been a mcire popular intermission show. I am especially pleased with their perform- ance. I was striving for a form of entertain- ment that would make the audience forget the competition, and they certainly managed this quite well. For the second year in a row, Delta Delta Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha walked away with the sweepstakes trophy. Their show ' The Journey to Heaven ' included such songs as ' Swing Low Sweet Chariot ' and ' Goddbye My Life, Goodbye. ' Delta Chi and Delta Gamma placed second with their 60 ' s .style show entitled A Time for Change. ' This year two new groups competed together. Delta Zeta and Phi Kappa Psi. Their show, ' A Salute to Disney ' won them third place. Grace Elliott Scolt Umberger and Lolly Braddock, overall .Songfest chairmen, show their happiness as they found out Songfest ' 86 was sold out.
