PCC Memories:
 My first year in PCC, I was a member of Concert choir. On our way to
our tour in St. Petersburg, Russia, we got stuck in Chicago at O'Hare
airport. Although it was absolutely brutal, I became closer to the people in
my choir than I ever had been. However, our most recent tour to Chicago
is probably one of my favorites. I found my true group of friends in
Encore, and created relationships that will continue far past my
graduation.

airport. It was a lot of fun hanging out with my friends, taking pictures,
and acting silly. But, in my years in PCC every single tour was a lot of
fun and couldn't ask for a better friends that I have now. I cherish each
and everyone of them, and will always be a part of my life. I would like
