What is Ouachita Baptist University's Tiger Tunes?

Homecoming and Tiger Tunes make this time of year so exciting for Ouachita Baptist University!

Tiger Tunes is something that almost all students on campus are involved in, and it takes weeks and weeks to perfect the show. In 2015, Tiger Tunes was live-streamed in 52 different countries and 6 continents. With a student population of only 1,500, the turnout is amazing. There are five shows throughout the week: a dress rehearsal on Wednesday, one each night on Thursday and Friday, and two Saturday night after the homecoming game.

Social clubs put on themed performances each year. This year's themes are even better than last year.

Betas: Astronauts

Campus Ministries: Stars

Chi Delta: Make It Rain

Chi Mu: Clocks

EEE: Toy Soldiers

Eta Alpha: Olympics

Kappa Chi: Express

Student Life: Super Store

Tri Chi: Tumbleweeds

OBU Band: Space

For those who aren't familiar with Tunes, the clubs make mini-musicals, basically, and awards are given out at the end of each show for Best Costumes, Best Choreography, Best Overall Entertainment, etc. Tunes is really magical, and anyone who is slightly interested should come see, or at least watch online via live stream before they judge Tunes.

Anyone who participated in Tiger Tunes should be patted on the back and given a hug - hours and hours of work were put into this show. Late night practices, battling colds and stomach bugs, and falling behind on homework are only some of the sacrifices these students made to perfect their show. This show means so much to the students, faculty and staff, community, parents, and viewers.

This year, Tiger Tunes attracted many notable alumni, such as Candace Payne (Chewbacca Mom, class of 2002 alumna) and Barrett Baber (Finalist in Season 9 of NBC's The Voice, class of 2001 alum.)

Congratulations to all the winners this year - and join Ouachita next year for, arguably, the most exciting week of the year!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
