Spring Fling When the senior members of Brophy Student Council were asked the tough question, "What is going to be the footprint you leave behind on this campus?" on the annual Student Council retreat, the Spring Fling was born. After months of imagining and planning what this event would look like, it finally took physical form on the evening of March 13, on Brophy campus. Student Council looked to make this one of the most multi-faceted events yet;
with everything from Band Slam, to a Variety Show, to Human Foosball, and closing the night with a Student DJ dance.The concept of the Spring Fling emerged when Student Council looked to create a night that had a type of entertainment that everyone could enjoy. Whether a student enjoys watching their peers' perform spectacular talents, hitting the dance floor with their friends, or watching bands perform original songs, the first annual Spring Fling has it all.
