Highlights from one of the incredible band features in the 55th season show

“I auditioned for the Singers because I missed the experience of playing drums in a quality band. As a result of touring with Singers, I’ve diversified my musical abilities, and the fun people involved kept me coming back for three years!”

— Ryan Campbell, Wisconsin Singers alum
