On the evening of Sing Song 2025 this past Sunday, with the crowd packed into Radford and anticipation in the air, Makona delivered a performance that brought the house down and locked in their third consecutive victory in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s theme was 100 Years of Heartbreak, celebrating 100 years of T.I.P., and Makona flipped the concept on its head with an upbeat medley of \u201cI Want You Back\u201d by the Jackson 5 and \u201cSweet Escape\u201d by Gwen Stefani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The performances were full of energy from the first note to the final pose! Batman also returned to the campus during the performance of \u201cSweet Escape\u201d in vain to stop the Villians of Gotham from escaping. This time, the Caped Crusader was defeated handily by the Joker and friends just in time for the last chorus as the rogues made their escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The win marks Makona\u2019s third straight Sing Song title, a streak now being called the \u201cThreepeat\u201d among students and alumni. \u201cEveryone brought their best this year\u201d said one Makona performer. \u201cThere was so much talent on that stage from every group, but we knew if we kept our energy up and had fun it could be ours again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Makona\u2019s Sing Song legacy continues to grow and so does its presence in campus culture. With this win the club has set a high bar for themselves and proven that a mix of creativity, commitment and just a little chaos is a recipe for more than just a trophy. Sing Song is a competition that they hope brings McMurry together one verse at a time for a very long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Makona Men\u2019s Fraternity has done it again!
