Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the music is so delightful! Therefore, zesty music is all you need to keep warm during the winter season and Schoolcraft College can help you ease your winter blues. The place to be was on February 17th, 2016 at precisely noon in the Kehrl Auditorium of the stunning VisTaTech Center. When I walked in the door it was easy to see where the concert was going to be performed with a long line of spectators.
