20 | Montevallo Today
After a virtual and relatively subdued College Night 2021 due to the pandemic, College Night 2022 returned with unbridled energy, passion, sharp execution of performances and fierce competition. Concluding the festivities of “Homecoming 2022: Back on the Bricks: Where We Belong!,” the Saturday performance of College Night stretched for nearly five hours in a packed Palmer Auditorium. After an explanation of the event’s more than 100-year history, the night kicked off with students and alumni on the Purple Side
and Gold Side exchanging banter, stepping, cheering, singing and holding hands in a circle encapsulating the auditorium. The hype changed the effervescence of the event’s atmosphere prior to the performances of the original musical productions. Gold ultimately claimed College Night’s coveted victory, but it was certainly hard won. This year’s leaders for the Purple Side were Elicia “Licee” Freeman and Kathryn “Katy” Barnes. The Gold Side leaders were Joy Hill and Kensley Sandlin.
