WRMC’s first Sepomana concert was first held in 1998 thanks to a loophole in the Student Government Association’s financing rules. The name was invented and has no additional significance. The first festival was MC’d by an Elvis impersonator and featured a live pig as a mascot. For several years, Sepomana was held in Coltrane Lounge in the Adirondack House, but was relocated to larger spaces in future years due to overwhelming demand.
