The 2015 DeHority Air Jam team hopes to secure their title as reigning champions of the residence hall category in the annual lip-syncing and dancing competition, which will be held at 9 p.m. in Emens Auditorium on Oct. 1.

DeHority residents were able to volunteer for the team at one of the residence hall meetings near the beginning of the year.

This year, the theme for Homecoming as a whole is "The Greatest Show on Turf," so the DeHority team decided to go with a circus theme for their Air Jam routine.

Danielle Cook, a sophomore mathematical science major, helped choreographed the dancing that will go with the music, which is a mix CD from a list of approved songs.

“I’ve told the team that when we get off the stage, I want people to say, ‘That was DeHo? That was awesome!’ I’m really excited about it. I think it’s going to be phenomenal,” Cook said.

After working with the DeHority team for the past two weeks I couldn't be more proud of them,” team leader Casey Middleton, a junior English major, said. “They've done an excellent job so far and I'm excited for everyone attending Air Jam to see the finished routine.”

The team has been preparing for the event since Sept. 14. The members meet every day except Friday and Saturday for one to two hours.

“It’s been an intense rehearsal process,” Emily Naville, a freshman music education major, said. “It’s totally worth it though."

Air Jam is a Ball State Homecoming tradition that takes place in Emens Auditorium and is highly attended every year. The show features teams competing against each other in the form of elaborate dance routines set to mash-ups of both current and classic songs. The teams perform their dances, which often include lifts and other gymnastics, all while lip-syncing the songs.

DeHority’s performance in last year’s Air Jam competition secured them a spot in this year’s production.

This year’s DeHority team practices every night in the exhibition hall. The team includes a variety of students, from freshmen to upperclassmen like the team’s leaders, Shelby Ward and Quintin Thompson.

As Homecoming and Air Jam creep closer, the team practices rigorously from anywhere to 1-3 hours per night in order to ensure a memorable and entertaining show.

This exciting event will kick-off homecoming weekend on Thursday, October 9. Tickets for Air Jam are available now and can be purchased at the Emens auditorium box office for $5.
