Groups consisting of a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 20 people from all the different residences and student communities on campus compete by singing an arrangement of prescribed songs. The event takes place in the Endler Music Hall, and tickets are open to the whole of campus. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size: 12pt\">Not all of us like to sing, dance and act but still appreciate some cultural activities. Throughout the year we will have a culture group that will attend a minimum of 4 culture events our campus has to offer. &nbsp;Some of these events might include watching the University\u2019s Choir during one of their lunch hour concerts or going to support our ser group in one of their performances. Another thing we try to do is organise culture events such as old movie screenings and quiz nights to act as a small distraction from the busy academic schedule university has to offer.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Culture plays a crucial part in every Stellenbosch student\u2019s life.
