"I don't know if you can tell but I'm really happy working with students," Director of Band Activities Eric Thomas said between pieces during the first half of the Wind Ensemble's spring concert. "You can force them to do all kinds of things," he added cheerfully.
If you're ready for an a capella album that is full of gracefully hip melodies and uplifting vocals, you don't have to look any further than the Colby 8's upcoming album, Tie One On.
