Three band members on a stage with inflatable tubes flailing around them

OSWEGO, NY— This past weekend, SUNY Oswego students prepared for homecoming week from shopping at Marano’s Clothing Store to performances from a local band named Squonk Opera. The band hails from Pittsburgh, PA, and their name gives them a satirical feel because, well you guessed it…they’re not an actual opera group. 

Maggie Schmuhl, who is an Assistant Professor at SUNY Oswego said, “The Squonk Opera was super fun! It was very entertaining. They had lots of special effects and the kids loved dancing with it. It was a good time all around.”

Tickets were free, and the general public was also welcomed to watch their performance. 

Another well-known artist named Young MA performed Friday night at the Swetman Field. The event was hosted by SAPB at SUNY Oswego. She performed her popular songs such as “Petty Wap” and “BIG.”
