Friday, March 13th 2020. This was the last day in 2020 that students engaged in a maskless and fully immersive experience on campus. This show was written for the 2020 Winter Percussion program that was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We were grateful to run this one last full run-through and film it multi-cam for a dynamic viewing experience.
