Dave Wilson, the venerable voice of Guernsey County, will be part of the act, portraying a radio host taking call-in requests. Peppering in interesting tidbits about the artists and songs between numbers, Wilson captures the audience's attention and will keep you smiling. The Meadowbrook Technology class created recordings to be used as the radio call-in requests for the show.

One-hit wonders line the program, and the audience can expect to find themselves singing along with a variety of songs ranging from the Hanson favorite "Mmmm Bob" to the seductive power of Alannah Myles' "Black Velvet," and even the '80s hit "Take On Me" by A-Ha.
