Samford University students will present Step Sing, the 54-year-old tradition in which competing groups sing and dance their way to the coveted Sweepstakes award, Feb. 17, 18 and 19.

Performances are at 7 p.m. each night in Wright Center Concert Hall. Ten competing groups will vie for honors. Two exhibition groups, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and the Samford Dance Team, will also entertain.

This year's Step Sing community service project will support Sav-A-Life, Inc. Audience members may leave baby items or monetary contributions at a drop-off station in Wright Center Lobby.

Step Sing tickets are $10, Thursday; and $13 (floor) and $15 (balcony), Friday. The Saturday performance is sold out. Tickets may be purchased online at: www.samfordtickets.com. For information, call (205) 726-2345.

Allison Tyler, a senior from Birmingham, is Step Sing director.
