Screamin’ Javelina debuts
Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) recently hosted its first Screamin’ Javelina music festival.
All students, alumni and members of the community were encouraged to come out and listen to the lineup of artists that performed throughout the day and night on March 23.
Each artist brought in their own genre from country and rock to rap and a variety of Spanish music.
These artists felt happy and honored to be a part of what could potentially be the first of many more music festivals.
“Being the one to kickstart this festival was awesome, and I am so blessed to be able to do this and I just thank God every day for getting the opportunity to do this,” Country artist Ethan Edghill said.
As the sun began to set and the afternoon heat turned into cool evening air, every artist played as best as they possibly could for the crowd’s enjoyment.
TAMUK students showed their support by crowding the stage and sang and danced along with the music that was being performed.
“I got excited to come and this has been amazing my favorite band to perform was Roam with Lions,” junior Maynard Carbajal said.
Screamin’ Javelina was a success in the eyes of the students who loved the music that was showcased at the festival and would love to come back to more in the future.
“I love going to concerts and stuff so when I heard that this was going to happen it was right up my alley and I was very excited to come out here,” junior Aaron Carbajal said. “All the rock and punk bands were the highlight. They were more my style and I got to talk to a lot of them when they finished; they were amazing.”
Despite the heat and a few technical difficulties early on, Screamin’ Javelina was a success and has won the hearts of many concert and festival loving members of the community and TAMUK.
To conclude the night an announcement was made that Screamin’ Javelina will return next year with the possibility of making it a longer event.
This festival gave a lot of those in attendance amazing memories, and many cannot wait for the next one as this could be a new tradition for TAMUK.
