“I had always grown up a Golden Flash,” said Jared. “My family would always go to the basketball games and see the energy that was brought to the MACC. I enjoyed watching the Flasher Brass perform at the games and it even encouraged me to go into music. When it came to choosing what college I wanted to go to, there really wasn’t any other choice as clear as Kent State.”
