    Meet Vice-President Rachel Green, left, Treasurer Yharnet Browne and President Darien Parker who joined host Breann Schossow on Blugold Performance of the Air.
The trio brought a wave of excitement and positivity with them into the WUEC-FM studio while chatting about favorite memories and how their involvement in it offers them stress relief and an on-campus family. The choir is directed by music director and student, Emily Klink.
Unfortunately, technical difficulties interfered with the first interview, so Rachel and Yharnet joined Schossow in studio on Sunday, April 22.
Make sure to tune in to 89.7 Eau Claire Sunday to listen. Also, here’s a link to a song by one of the music directors the group mentions during the interview, Kirk Franklin.
