Memories
Natalie R. Moppert 2007 of Cape Coral, FL, shared a great memory of her time at Greensboro College:
"I have many wonderful memories of my four-year adventure at GC. However what I miss the most is being a part of Pride Productions; that was the time of my
life. All of the performers that I got to meet and the trips I helped organize,
especially Mystery Van Tours to Tennessee and Myrtle Beach, and most of all going to
conference every semester. What I love is recognizing entertainers that I met
and performed with at Reynolds Center on television. One group, Recycled Percussion,
was one of the runners-up on America's Got Talent. Another guitarist, Eric
Hutchinson, performed at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Pride Productions
gave me a social circle and let me be a part of something that brought our
small campus together every Tuesday night."
