“Tuesday’s at the Tank” invites students to enjoy their in-between class times at lunch on Tuesdays outside with some special acts.

Chance Haugen, who is in charge of Tuesdays at the Tank, said the idea came from a similar program that he was involved in while in school.

“At my university, they had a program like this were you could sign up and play at the student union,” Haugen said.  “So I wanted to do something like it. The Pedestrian Mall was brand new and we wanted to create some excitement on it.”

“Tuesday’s at the Tank” runs through the first six weeks of school in the fall and then begins again in April when warmer weather arrives.  The next band performing is The Men of E.X.Cluzive., a steppers group at WTAMU.

Although food is not offered each week at “Tuesday’s at the Tank”, there are a few select occasions when food will be served. Commuter’s Appreciation Week and Homecoming are a few of these select days.

“Tuesday’s at the Tank” started in 2007 and has been going strong ever since.  It started out as a once a month thing and seemed to be sporadic.

“Tuesday’s at the Tank” tries to provide local bands a chance to play for their peers.  The CORE office provides the sound equipment.

“The best way to play is to contact me,” said Haugen, “Let me know and we can get you hooked up.”

Students hoping to enjoy “Tuesdays at the Tank” can gather in the Pedestrian Mall.
