Dr. Dale Van Cantfort’s Audio Production I class has been hard at work as they prepare to host their final individual shows. The students have put a lot of work in these past few days, practicing into the late nights as well. These students have worked hard all semester long. Now is the time to see if all the hard work has finally paid off.
