On the evening of Tuesday, March 14, Associated Students Productions (ASP) hosted “Trivia Night”. Seawolves gathered in Lobos to utilize their knowledge of a variety of music topics. People got into teams of five to compete in order to win 1000 points per correct answer on questions such as “most streamed artist”, “guess the song”, “the hometown of country music“ and “first Nintendo video game to use an orchestra for their soundtrack”. The diversity of the questions made it engaging for students with different musical interests to compete.

As the teams correctly answered the trivia questions, they cheered and hollered from every table in Lobo’s. Excitement filled the room when people wrote down their answers on their whiteboards to hold up when the time to answer came.

Curtis Manley, event director for ASP shared what he wished Seawolves would get out of trivia night: “I think hosting events is important because it adds to the college experience and gives students something to do on a weekday night that is free for them to attend.” Manley went on to say, “I come up with events by trying to use my power to implement what I would like to see. My goal with Tuesday Night Trivia was to try and build the culture of Sonoma State. I love trivia and thought that trying to make a bar-styled trivia night would not only be a fun change for campus life but could also appeal to those who aren’t 21.”

“I like how competitive it is. It’s just fun trying to race to the answer to see who’s the first to hold their board up”. Gabby Davis, a third-year Hutchins major, talked about what she liked most about trivia night: “ Davis continued to say that one fun fact that she learned during trivia night was “The first Hard Rock Cafe was in London, England not Nashville, Tennessee”. This answer seemed to shock many others in the crowd as well.

Mika Rios-Casseco, a third-year English major, gave her opinion about the game: “The competition is really fun, I just like to quiz my knowledge especially since I like music a lot. I end up realizing I don’t know as much as I thought I did”. Rios-Casseco praised how much fun the event was and how she had also gone to trivia night last month. “It is a fun way to get out and play trivia. You get to test your knowledge and I know this event is one of the most popular ones to go to”.   

Sasha Omholt, a third-year Communications and Media Studies major learned Something new and interesting during trivia night, she said she learned: “More about different music artists and how they got their start in the industry. For instance, I didn’t know that Justin Bieber was first discovered by Usher!” Osmholt said what she loved most about trivia night was “How it brings people together. I feel very proud to be a part of this school’s community.”
