The annual celebration of the end of classes brought music, revelry\u2014and at one point, lots of bubbles\u2014to the Hill<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Beth Saulnier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With overcast skies above their heads and muddy grass under their feet, this year’s Slope Day<\/a> revelers nonetheless had a blast at the traditional festivities marking the end of spring classes. As in recent years, students could choose from a variety of activities\u2014including Slope Fest on Ho Plaza, which featured free snacks and soft drinks, along with carnival games and performances by student groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those craving something completely different (and who had pre-registered), there was the chance to try out the Hoffman Challenge Course<\/a>, Cornell Outdoor Education’s ropes course located near campus. And for early risers, the day started out with a Slope Day BreakFEST, held outside the Schwartz Center in Collegetown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for many, of course, the big draw was the party on the Slope and the performers on the main stage. They included headliner Gunna, a singer and rapper from Atlanta; the electronic music duo Louis the Child; and a trio of student acts that had earned their spots through on-campus competitions: DJs Two (Asian) Friends and FREQ, and “battle of the bands” winner Lucky Strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
