Tara Kelly, junior music therapy major and president of the Music Therapy Club, said, “The purpose of the event is to fund-raise for the club through the raffle baskets during the actual event.”

The judges for the event were Tammy Amosson, assistant professor of religious studies; Samantha Christiansen, assistant professor of history and director of women’s studies; Katie Morell, clarinet lecturer, and Anita Gadberry, director of music therapy.
Travis Murray, senior marketing major, and Jessica Malfa, junior music therapy major, were the masters of ceremony for the event.
The participants in the event included: Patrick Hein, graduate student music education major; James Phillips, senior biology major; William Weiss, junior medical technology major; Nicholas Grevera, senior theatre major, and Joseph Buderwitz, junior secondary education major.
