MARQUETTE -- Northern Michigan University students packed Jamrich Hall Tuesday for the fifth annual stepping competition. Students from each hall compete against one another in a series of dance-offs. The teams use choreographed movements, clapping, and stomping to show their skills.
The competition is part of a weeklong homecoming celebration on NMU's campus. This year's turnout has the Special Events Committee excited about homecoming.
"It's great to see everyone excited for homecoming because we put so much work into it as the special events committee and everyone works really hard to put on these events for homecoming, so it's really rewarding to see," said Sarah Muellerleile of the Special Events Committee.
More than 500 students attended the event. So many showed up that they had to set up a live stream of the event in a different room.
Homecoming week continues Wednesday with the king and queen competition. The homecoming football game is set for Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Superior Dome against Ashland.
