Most of the “jam” portion of Allen Street Jam was thanks to live performances from bands such as “Livewire,” who covered classic songs like “Come Together” and “I Feel the Earth Move”

A big emphasis by Homecoming before Allen Street Jam was to bring people together from all over the community. Families, students, and representatives from local businesses were all welcome.

Allen Street Jam deemed itself a “mini festival,” bringing together food trucks, games, and free food. Allen Street was flooded with things to do.

The two “main” events were the introduction of the Homecoming court and the annual dance competition between local dance troupes. Among the Homecoming court members honored was Megan Reese, who smiled to the crowd while being recognized for her accomplishments with THON.
