Rector Magnificus Martin Kropff officially opened the party on a stage, by pressing a red button. After a little delay golden ribbons shot through the air and the party really took off.
The stage was situated outside the building. The Partysquad and DJ’s Vato Gonzales & MC Tjen provided hefty beats and got the crowd dancing. Inside Orion the atmosphere was bit more relaxed. In the lecture rooms the Ill Skill Squad took off its clothes, while Jurg van Inkel entertained the audience with his jokes. Several pop bands performed in student café The Spot.
The organisation of the party wanted to become a trending topic on twitter with #OpeningOrion. Those present were stimulated to tweet. They could vote on the music they wanted to hear. During four hours about 500 tweets with #OpeningOrion were sent. People on twitter also used it to complain, about the long lines for the beer. And because the music kept people in Bennekom from a peaceful sleep.
