President Sara Lopez, Music Director Lauren Pfeil, Business Director Hannah Willmore, Treasurer Leanna Kerbs, Social Media Directors Liz Erickson and Addie Howell, Print Media Director Chloe Marsh, and the remaining members of Freshly Brewed rehearse twice a week all semester solely for this event.
"We've been working really hard by putting in hours of time and effort to make this the best show it can be," Willmore said. "We have so much fun together and I think that is evident when we perform."
