USA student percussionist Jared Messinger successfully completed his Senior Percussion Recital on Friday, May 1, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. in the Laidlaw Performing Arts Center Recital Hall.  Music included works by Harold Arlen, Pat Jacobs, Chad Floyd, and Messinger even performed a piece of his own titled, Locked, written in 2017.  The concert was presented in front of an empty house due to coronavirus protections, and all concerned were maintaining proper social distancing per university and local guidelines.
