Jazz group “Orange Colored Pie” wins Punk ‘n’ Pie

Annual talent show features comedy routines, brass melodies and piano recitals.

Metzger lawn filled with Biola students and families for the annual Punk ‘n’ Pie talent show, which featured a lineup of students with some unique gifts. Judges included 2021 alumnus and student admissions coordinator Billy Cadilla, screenwriting professor Jim Hope and professor of theology Dr. Leon Harris. 

Senior psychology major David Perumalla opened the night with a cartoon theme song medley, using a variety of instruments. This opening act was followed by eleven other student acts, varying from piano recitals to comedy, ending with a concert from student band “Good Times.” After the student performances, student dance group Bropoc sang a medley of Beyonce songs. During the performance, audience members voted via QR code, which was handed out on flyers to decide the winner of the event.  

“Orange Colored Pie,” led by senior music therapy major Daisy Perrigan, won first place for their performance of the jazz classic “Orange Colored Sky,” which featured Perrigan’s flute skills alongside brass melodies. In the second place, return act “Clubb” won, performing both “Superstition” and a medley of childhood cartoon comics. Student band “Good Times” took third place. 

Other honorable mentions for student performances include freshman cinema media arts major Kristy Lowe playing the piano while upside down, of which Harris commented, “I was head over heels for that performance.”

Emily Coffey, Managing Editor
Emily Coffey is a senior broadcast journalism major who loves John Mayer, Bernese Mountain Dogs and high fives. [email protected] I grew up in the beautiful state of Oregon, which provided a lot of opportunities for adventures like white water rafting, mountain biking, and hiking. During a three-month stint in Nepal with my family (I was homeschooled), I got to document the lives of 13 women who had undergone some form of human trafficking, medical neglect, or family abuse. From here, I found my passion for storytelling.  Though I came to Biola as a music major, I started working at the Chimes my freshman year and quickly made the switch to broadcast journalism. My love of verbal and written communication, especially in storytelling, soon blossomed into a love of visual storytelling.  Now, I work for the Chimes and am heavily involved in many other student media organizations. You can find me covering a story, interviewing students about their artwork, at the beach, or running.
