the Daisy Tradition. Also featured at the 131st Opening
Convocation is an academic musical presentation
by Joseryl Beckley, a dramatic mezzo-soprano. A
Cottey alumna from Sierra Leone, West Africa, Ms.
Beckley is currently a doctoral student in Opera and
Voice at the University of British Columbia, Canada.
The Kansas City Metro Men’s Chorus (KCMMC) was
founded in the fall of 2001. Currently, there are 80
singers who range in age from 30 to 87 and who come
from a variety of vocations and musical experience.
From the very beginning, the mission of the choir has

raised over $319,000 for charities. Your donations at
this concert will assist Community Outreach in Nevada.

HEADPHONE
DISCO
ALL-CAMPUS
DANCE
9 p.m.-1 a.m.,
Hinkhouse Center
Gymnasium, $3
Headphone Disco is the silent party phenomenon
that’s been rocking colleges, festivals, and clubs from
the UK to Uganda for the past five years. Surreal,
insanely popular, and completely unforgettable,
the show and Headphone Disco brand have
become one of the most talked about and sought
after acts in the entertainment scene in years.
Unfamiliar with the concept? Take a room full of
party people, give them all a set of specially made
two-channel wireless headphones, and have two
live DJs broadcast to them over two FM channels
simultaneously. Watch as the crowd chooses their
DJ with the flick of a switch then ‘get down’ to two
completely different styles of music, at exactly the
same time to a soundtrack that only they can hear.
DANIEL MARTIN
Saturday, October 18
DANIEL MARTIN

In addition to Daniel recently being nominated for the
“Entertainer of the Year” award, he was recognized
by Campus Activities Magazine this year as the singly
highest/best rated touring act in the country! His magic

PETE LEE
Friday-Saturday, November 14-15
COLLEGE PLAY
Sunday, December 7
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC CONCERT
Pete Lee might be the nicest person in New York
City, but that’s because it’s impossible to sound
aggressive with a Wisconsin accent. Pete was raised
in Wisconsin by divorced parents and a 19-inch
television, which is probably why he pursued a career
in entertainment. In 2005, Pete flew to New York
to make his television debut on Comedy Central’s
Premium Blend. That same night, he met his future
wife, and she made him move to Manhattan. Soon
after that, he was selected to perform at the Just for
Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, where he was
voted a standout performer. In 2008, he finished as
a semi-finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Later
he shot his own Comedy Central half-hour special,
which earned him a “cult” following at comedy
clubs, and the opportunity to perform over the next
four years at 500 colleges across the country.
The title of this play will be announced later in
the fall. It will be directed by Laura Chaney.
The Cottey College Jazz Ensemble and the
Cottey College Wind Ensemble will perform a
variety of jazz and wind ensemble literature.
They will be directed by Bill Martin.

SIX APPEAL
Saturday, September 6
SIX APPEAL
8 p.m., Center for the Arts, $5/$4
Is Six Appeal a comedy group, a vocal ensemble, or
a rock band? Audiences have been trying to answer
that question for years. Swearing off instruments,
Six Appeal uses a cappella singing to span decades
of classic oldies, current chart toppers, and catchy
original tunes. Featuring vocal dexterity and
adventurous song selection, the group explores all
genres with a far-reaching repertoire that will surprise
and captivate audiences regardless of the setting.

attention of audiences everywhere she performs.
Her wide variety of characters brings a diverse
energy to her routine. Once you have seen her

she was selected to perform at the Hamptons,
Toyota, Marshall’s Women in Comedy, Comedy
Central’s South Beach, Montreal, and HBO’s Las
Vegas comedy festivals. Her YouTube channel,
“The JessyK Show” has over 2.2 million views.

Mayer, The Roots, Common, Smokey Robinson,
Mos Def, and Talib Kweli. In addition, she has
graced some of the most revered stages such as
the Nokia Theater, Kennedy Center, Lincoln Theater
for the Hip-Hop Theater Festival, as well as feature
spots on BET’s Lyric Café, and had the privilege
of performing for Michelle Obama during the
Pulitzer Prize winning play Ruined. She is currently
embarking on a college tour throughout the country.
