September, when you think of it, is it the start of classes that come to mind or maybe the end of long, sunny, summer days?
No matter what your idea of September is, it also means frosh week. Another school year is about to start and along with it another frosh is quickly approaching.
Frosh week is marked at campus’ across the city with events at Waterfront on Sept. 4, Casa Loma on Sept. 5, St. James on Sept. 6, and Ryerson on Sept. 13
This year’s main frosh party at George Brown College’s St. James campus on Thursday Sept. 6 is going to have a special guest appearance by Fefe Dobson.
Felicia “Fefe” Dobson, 24, is originally from Scarborough, Ontario and came out with her self-titled first album in 2003 from which the talented performer had four singles.
Dobson went on to become a Canadian sensation receiving two Juno Award nominations for Pop Album of the Year and New Artist of the Year.
Recently, Dobson’s songs have been heard in the television show Vampire Diaries and promos for the movie Whip It and the video game Sims 3: World Adventures.
Dobson played the Live Green Toronto Festival on July 21 at Yonge-Dundas Square. Promoting green products and a green lifestyle the festival was an all-day music sensation.
From noon to 10 p.m. the 104.5 CHUM FM main stage didn’t disappoint with Dobson being one of the headliners.
She brought out a crowd of her faithful fans when she went on, who rocked out to songs like “Bye Bye Boyfriend’” and “Joy” proving Dobson is a true performer.
From playful to soul-bearing, Dobson’s music has grown from her first self-titled album to her second ‘Sunday Love’ and her third ‘Joy’.
At her young age, Fefe Dobson is more than ready to tackle expectations for her upcoming release.
“People expect you to bring it by the third album,” she says. “But I’m not letting the pressure get to me because that’s when the fun disappears. I want to laugh and enjoy myself because, at the end of the day, I didn’t do this just to do it but because I love to perform and make music. At the end of the day, I want to be rocking like Tina Turner when I’m her age.”
Make sure to see Fefe Dobson rock the stage on St. James campus’ second floor patio Sept. 6 at 4 p.m. It’s going to be a can’t-miss show!
Another interesting attraction for GBC students of is the Monsters of Schlock featuring performers Burnaby Q. Orbax and his brother Sweet Pepper Klopek.
The show is quite spectacular being described as being Canada’s only two-man demolition derby and a “circus freak show with comedy and magic” by the pair in an interview on their website.
Their website also states that they have “two diverse backgrounds devoted to one motto: violence is funny.”
What does this mean? Well dear readers you’re going to have a frosh that’s an unforgettable experience.
