2011 Miracle Yearbook

ELLIV Step right up! Come one, come all, to see the greatest show on campus! And many Cedarville students did just that. On that Saturday night, students flooded the DMC.Groups of students came dressed as characters from movies, video games, and books. Particularly notable themes of the night included a group of guys dressed as army men, complete with their weapons, poses, and platforms to stand on; characters from Mario; and a team on Minios and Gru from Despicable Me. Mostly, those who didn't go as a theme dressed in formal attire. Designed around a lively circus theme, Elliv opened with a pre-show act that featured an illusionist and a performer who juggled and swallowed fire. To begin the annual show, cannons mounted on either side of the stage fired, and Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" filled the chapel. Many diverse performances comprised this year's Elliv. Musical performances of popular songs such as "Don't Stop Believing" and "Living on a Prayer" were a hit, as was "Hey Jude," performed in a tribute to The Beatles. Acts this year also featured dancing in its various forms. There was hip-hop, ballet, and swing dancing. Dr. Brown's summary of the year's chapel messages in the form of the "Ask Jack" rap was definitely a quality performance all its own. The tradition of the Elliv Rock was also continued for its second year in a row, as deserving students were recognized for their accomplishments in performing arts, athletics, campus impact,and unique talents. An award was also given for the best campus-wide event of the school year. More than just providing an evening of fun with friends, Elliv showcased the work of many talented Cedarville students. Elliv proved itself a huge success and was without a doubt the greatest show on campus. "Elliv was a great time! It was awesome seeing the DMC reconstructed into a circus and being able to see the talents of our peers in each performance. The show really lived up to its motto:'Step right up!" (Sandra Geber) Candy Hill and her back-up dancers start the show off with a bang! Or with a whip, rather. Jordan Doyle and Allistar Littrell challenge Chris Voltzfor the position of SGA chaplain. The contenders had some...interesting ideas about how to run chapel. With their performance art presentation,the Army Men won the contest for best costume.They looked so real! Or well, so plastic. Realistically plastic? 6 220
