Last Thursday eight Fresno City College students danced, sang, and free -styled in hopes of earning tickets to this year’s Van’s Warped Tour.

The Rampage Club presented “Rampage Idol”, a talent showcase intended to find undiscovered talent on FCC campus.

“Idol” took place around noon in the Free Speech Area. The event took place in front of a small but energetic crowd, who grew restless from the long period of delay. They were ready to be entertained by their fellow peers.

Preparation for the event had been a month long process. Posters and flyers plastered the campus bulletin boards.

FCC student, Nick Chacon came in second place, with an acoustic version of Rhianna’s song “Umbrella.”

“I had fun playing in the show. It felt good to get up in front of people and play music,” said Chacon, “I wasn’t nervous at all. I just had a good time while I was playing.”

FCC students Cameron Moses and Marcell Dilworth won first place; they performed an original rap song.

Other performances included: Kevin Potts who danced, Christopher Dichosa who performed a song on the guitar and Matt Juarez and Gabriel Hudgins who performed a spiritual rap song.

The Vans Warped tour will be at the Save Mart Center. It is scheduled for August 13,2008, from 12p.m. to approximately 6p.m.
