All You Need Is Love at WNCC Gala Evening

Rita Stinner was guest on KNEB's News Extra program to talk about WNCC's Gala Evening this month.

 

The Western Nebraska Community College Vocal Music Program, under the direction of Rita Stinner, will present the 23rd annual A Gala Evening at the Gering Civic Center on Friday, February 22 and Saturday, February 23.

The 2013 theme, "All You Need is Love," will include "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Billionaire" from Glee, "I'm Outta Here" from Ghost the Musical, the Josh Groban hit "Higher Window," "In My Life" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and the 2013 theme song, "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles.

Stinner, WNCC music program and choral activities director, said of the project, "The quality of our program grows each and every year. This year is no exception. The level of student talent is so impressive, and we look forward to presenting another fabulous gala, this year exploring the spectrum of love's effect on us all. We examine love of friends and family, love lost, and love found. This should be a gala to remember."
