Spring Sing Profile: Company

Spring Sing’s 2014 Company started their relationship with a speed dating game, rotating partners every few minutes. The topic of conversation was, “What talents do you bring to Company?” Each member was forced to answer, most defaulting into awkward laughter and responding with bad impersonations. Read more...
