The eclipse came down to South Carolina and Orangeburg was lucky to be in the path of totality. South Carolina State University www.Scsu.edu was one of the many places that hosted a viewing for the amazing sky show.

Prior to the totality of the "Great American Eclipse," SC State's campus began to fill up with people from many states. Oliver C. Dawson stadium housed the many spectators as they waited patiently for the astronomical event. They were entertained by the sounds of Marching 101.

I personally think that it was amazing to even see it in person. It was a once in a lifetime event and it was nothing short of dissapointing. I was glad that the clouds went away so that we had a clear view.
