Kang, 16, of State College, per formed “Tzigane,” a composition that won her the competition. Dressed in a floor-length purple dress, she performed her piece by memory, starting first as a solo and then adding the rest of the orches tra. After the piece, Kang was brought back on stage three times, with her mother running up the aisle to present her with a bouquet of flowers on her second bow.

Sakosky said Burnham’s jokes were arguably offensive, but he presented the risky topics in an acceptable manner. “He’s so aloof about it that you can tell he’s not actually racist and he’s not anti-feminist,” she said. Laßar (freshman-psychology) said such boundaries are meant to be crossed in entertainment. “It’s comedy,” she said. “If you come to be offended, don’t come.” Laßar said writing comedy with music is no small feat, and Burnham’s style is a step above others in his genre. “Some musical comedians are overdone, but not Bo,” she said. Laßar said Burnham’s come dy showcased his intelligence by referencing Salvador Dali and The Daily Collegian life,” Naginey said.

Lindsay Rose heard the orches tra perform in school and won tick ets to its Family Concert, said her mother, Sherri Rose, 34.

This was Zoso’s second concert at the theater. The cover band played hits like “Nobody’s Fault but Mine,” “Misty Mountain Hop” and “Ramble On.” The crowd never stopped moving or cheering. The band also played lesser known songs off the Led Zeppelin album like “Houses of the Holy.” Joe Patemo football coach ule (Alabama, lowa and Ohio State).
