Amidst music and chatter, students clad in their finest evening wear gathered in the J.C. Williams Center on Saturday for a night filled with games, food and fun.

Nineteen students from Franciscan University's music department participated in presenting songs from the early nineteenth century from the German culture, called a "Liederaband".
