POSTECH has held its spring anniversary festival since 1987 by the name of “Sunrise Festival”. Open to members of POSTECH but also to the local community, this year’s Sunrise Festival was held from May 13 - 15. For three days, people enjoyed foods and drinks in booths organized by various departments and individuals while watching shows prepared by diverse performers.
The eve of the festival commenced on 13 at 8p.m. with congratulatory messages from Joon Ho Cho, the vice president for Admissions and Student Affairs, Lee Wonjong (IME 13), the representative of student body, and Baek Sangwon (MSE 12), leader of Festival Prep. Committee. Then it was followed by performances from student clubs CHEERO, P-FUNK, and CTRL-D. The finale of the eve was dance performances from four departments: Chemistry, Industrial Management Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Material Science & Engineering. A notable feature in the dance performances was that some groups of male students were dressed in girls’ costumes with make-ups and wigs, dancing to girl groups’ music.
On the second day, student clubs Steeler, Bremen, GT-Love, Guitar Hana, and Voces performed. The group to finish the last performance of the day was a heavy metal group named BUSTERED.
The last day of the festival drew the most participation. A singing contest called PBS POSKING hosted a number of students with great vocal talents. Participants were evaluated by the judges, and the top three participants were awarded prizes. There was also a participant who received a popularity award, which was not part of the plan, but was improvised due to fervent responses from the audience. Performances by celebrities then ensued starting with dances by a female group  "Switch". A musical male duo "Norazo" sang their songs and witty remarks of member of Norazo made Postechians laugh. Lastly, the stage by a DJ team made virtually everybody jump. Despite the rain, people were jumping and dancing to the beat, and fortunately, the rain did not last long and people were able to enjoy the show until the end.
