The League has most of their repertoire prepared by the time the talent acts are chosen in fall quarter.

The League starts writing and rehearsing in the summer, giving them a full six months of prep time before the big show. “We start with one word or phrase, something that’s relevant on campus and bounce it around between us until it’s complete enough to be an idea for a video or onstage skit.” “Our creative process is pretty cool,” Diaz said. Skits and videos centered on UCI humor are their specialty. The 16 members of the group were chosen in the spring of last year and have been working on content for the show ever since. The League opens and closes the show, and performs in the time between talent acts. “If Soulstice was the Superbowl, we’d be the halftime show.” “The Soulstice League is a hilarious group of students who serve as the show’s emcees,” Chung said. Also included on Committee are the two Soulstice League captains, Alicia Diaz and Patrick Chung. This year’s Committee has been working together since spring quarter of last year, marketing and promoting the show. They contact potential judges, work through the logistics of the show’s timing, keep track of the talent acts’ progress - everything you see on the night of the big show has been carefully coordinated by this group of students. The Executive Director and Executive Producer are essentially the ‘presidents’ of Committee, overseeing the efforts of the Talent Directors, the Marketing Directors, the Stage & Crew Director and the group’s interns. The Soulstice Committee is made up of 15 students devoted to sharing the artistic talents of UCI students. And who does all the work that goes into making one great show happen? That responsibility goes to the members of Committee and League. There are months and months of preparation before the talent acts even audition to be featured in the show. But the process of putting the show together takes a whole lot longer than that. Soulstice only comes around once a year, when hundreds gather in the Bren for a couple of hours to watch great talent and share some sweet UCI love.
