Collage Concert

Colin and Mandie after Collage Concert

Us celebrating at Pizza house after Collage Concert

Last week was super busy for Colin.  This year, he was again the production manager for the MSU College of Music Collage concert, which showcases different acts from all aspects of the school of music.  Performances were given by the Wind Symphony, Symphony Orchestra, Choral department, Jazz Band, a jazz vocal group, a Klesmer group, and various instrumental duets, ensembles, and solos.  It is a big concert to organize, and everyone thought that Colin did a wonderful job! A program of the concert can be found by clicking here.

Also, in the MSU football world, MSU beat Notre Dame two weeks ago in overtime with an amazing fake play!! If you missed the game, here is the play that won the game:



MSU plays Wisconsin on Saturday for their first Big 10 match-up of the season, so look for Colin on TV!
