Bill Engvall, actor and comedian, will entertain students at First Yell 2010 at 8 p.m. Sept. 3 in Reed Arena. The event takes place on the Friday night before Midnight Yell Practice, and several student talent groups also will be performing.
“We are bringing in some student groups: Singing Cadets, Fade to Black and Aggie Wranglers,” said yell leader David Benac, junior business honors major. “It’s a great to way to feature Aggie students and their talent here on campus.”
Benac said Engvall fits the culture at A&M, making him a good choice for First Yell.
“We’ve had him come in before,” Benac said. “He is family friendly and well-liked around A&M, and he is such a good fit for the crowd. After talking to former yell leaders and people who’ve seen him, they seem to always have fun and enjoy the show he puts on. We have only heard positive reviews.”
First Yell kicks off the upcoming football season.
“There is no better way to do that than bringing in a great entertainer to get the Ags excited,” he said. “I think we all look forward to a fun, entertaining evening,” he said. “Hopefully people will leave with their stomachs hurting from laughing so loud.”
