The  committee has been hard at work volunteering their time by helping put  up posters at local businesses, handing out flyers and making the  community and the campus of NMU aware of not only the March concert, but  also of Adam&rsquo;s music. They are constantly brainstorming ideas on how to  get Adam&rsquo;s name out there, and are hoping to plan a few events for him  in the near future. Members of the committee are: Kate Annala, Jamie  Carter, </span></strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #888888;">Andrea Hitt</span></strong></span>, <span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">Geoff Holloway, Scott Jensen, Laura Niemela, and Brandon Wrobel.</span></strong></span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">Other:</span></strong></span></p><br /><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">NMU&rsquo;s Public Relation Student Society of America (PRSSA) is the world&rsquo;s   most paramount pre-professional organization for students interested in   the field of public relations. Each year the NMU chapter puts together  a  successful annual campaign to raise money for a local charity. The   campaign entails a ski and snowboard competition and a 3 on 3 basketball   tournament. This year&rsquo;s benefiting charity is Teaching Family Homes of   Marquette. Both of these events not only generate a large amount of   community support, but also, PRSSA members plan these events, which   gives them valuable events coordination experience.</span></strong></span></p>]]></description>

Along with being a very talented singer/songwriter, she has also been in several musicals, including High School Musical. Other things Becky enjoys are playing guitar, playing soccer, basketball, and softball to name a few. For her senior year of high school- MSHS, she spent the year as a Rotary Exchange Student in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. During her stay, she became fluent in Spanish and performs some of her music in that language. Part of Becky's dream is to become a musical performer. </span></span></strong></span></p><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong><br />*Adam and Becky actually met during the High School Musical 3 years ago as he played a lead role as Troy and Becky in a lead role as Gabriella.

He has been singing and playing guitar for four years and plays both electric and acoustic.

Other interests he has are piano, skateboarding and snowboarding. He snowboards most weekends at the Marquette Mountain. Ethan also had an opportunity to perform at one of Matt Sia's local concerts and has opened for Chasin Steel at the Upfront and Company.
