Vampires, Batman and Playboy bunnies don’t always hangout, but when they do, it’s at the ULM costume ball.

The 3rd annual costume ball was held last Thursday in Brown Gym. The ball was put on by SGA.

The ball had a ‘high school dance’ vibe. And with some old-school songs on the playlist, it definitely felt like a blast from the past.

More than 500 students showed up to for the ball, making this year’s Halloween ball ULM’s largest yet.

“I had a great time at the ball,” said Mckenna Giovingo, a sophomore vocal performance major. “I loved seeing everyone in their costumes and getting to just let loose with friends.”

Most costume parties are filled with the same old costumes and there will usually be seven or eight cow girls walking around with the same costume on.

Leave it to ULM students to break the mold. So many students thought outside of the box and it was evident that a lot of time, effort and thought went into the costumes.

The Naked Cowboy was there, Britney Spears (pre-breakdown Britney), princesses, Iron Man…so many celebrities right here on campus.

A lot of the costumes were home made. Pinterest is more than likely responsible for that.

“I think it was a great success,” said Calvin Stafford, SGA president. Stafford said that everyone seemed to have a good time and people were dancing until the very last minute of the night.

The 3rd annual ball was the over all most successful one yet. Not only was it the largest, but it was also cheapest to throw.

This year’s ball only cost half of what it has in the past to throw it.

“The best part of the night was seeing the ULM body enjoy the party. Normally they complain about the DJ, but everyone loved the vibe,” said Taylor Jamison, DJ of the night and senior marketing major.
