HEAR IT FIRST IN AGGIELAND

A&T student radio professionals are helping the campus hear new CDs before they are officially released via preview parties.  WNAA-90.1 sponsored a listening party in the Memorial Student Union for the brand new CD from American Idol winner and High Point native Fantasia.  Following rave reviews, another listening party was presented in Smith Hall to preview the new CD by American Idol winner Ruben Studdard.  Student radio station volunteers worked with record companies to coordinate both campus events including refreshments and raffles.  Aggies attending the viewing parties previewed the new CDs and gave their opinions and feedback of the music.
