Senior Meagan Carrick is in charge. A consummate Southern belle in knee-high brown boots and a gingham button-up, she moves her hands in rhythm, listens attentively and drives her vocalists through the “tricky” parts of the songs she conducts.

Each year a senior is chosen from the different schools at Ithaca College who stands out academically and in the community. Meagan Carrick was chosen from the school of Music for 2012.
