SCOPE presented their monthly Beanhouse along with several student musicians in the Bartels Programming Space on March 3 at 8 p.m. and ran until 10:30 p.m.
Beanhouse is an open mic event in which students perform by singing, playing an instrument, and/or reciting poetry. Though sign ups are in advance, walk-ins are welcome.
There was an abundant amount of seating and food provided. This event is totally cost free for admission and food.
Some students attend every month while others make an appearance every once in a while.
Performers this month included Brianna-Marie Barron, co-head of Special Events for S.C.O.P.E., on keyboard singing “A Thousand Miles” and “Home” by Vanessa Carlton.
Kyle Pickard and Bri L’Ecuyer performed an original song and “Done,” by The Band Perry. On The Fritz perfored several covers and original songs. Helen Schneider, a junior, sand Turning Tables by Adele. Robert Galvin on guitar performed “Wiseman” and an original song.
Afterwards, the staff and the performers who stayed took turns jamming with each other.
The monthly Beanhouse is a UNH Tradition going on for quite a while; Kristen Merlin, ’07, has attended the Beanhouses when she was a student here at the University before graduating and competing on The Voice.
Usually, Beanhouse has a great turn out with ten to 15 performers; however, because the snow cancelled classes and activities that evening, many students were driven away.
