FASA FRESHMAN FIESTA: VIBRANT NIGHT, FIERCE PAGEANTRY, AND UNFORGETTABLE GROOVES

Despite a brief hiccup with ticket checks, the party quickly pulsated with music and good vibes, even spilling outside the packed hall. Dignitaries like FASA President “D’Gov ” and NASELS President Jahz Baba graced the event, while MC Dammycares kept the program lively.

Musical talents Pherami Geerapstar and Anjola set the stage alight with their contrasting styles, before 16 dazzling contestants took centre stage for the highly anticipated pageantry. Fierce competition unfolded as they strutted their stuff in fashion parades, cultural attire, and talent showcases, truly becoming the stars of the night.

Interspersed with dance-offs and fueled by “hard drinks,” the energy soared as Tristan and Itunnu were crowned Mr. and Miss FASA, respectively. But the real climax arrived during the after-party, where students danced and vibed to pulsating music for over an hour, oblivious to the world outside. It wasn’t until 5 am that the DJ shut down the party, leaving behind memories of an unforgettable night.
