We want to thank U of M football star Mazi Smith for coming by and sharing his experiences with our young men! He talked about being a creative writing major, the focus it takes to excel at what you want to do, and he even spit a few bars! Best of luck in the NFL draft and beyond, Mazi!
We want to thank @afcannarbor for their hospitality at halftime! Formula 734 Volume 2 second show in the books and we couldn’t be happier about it. And on top of that the men’s team tied the game in the final minutes to earn a point! Best of luck to the men’s and women’s teams the rest of the season!
Last week some of our Formula 734 Volume 2 team did their first show together. They were asked to perform a couple songs by the Student Advocacy Center at their Telling Tales event! They shared the stage with other talented people speaking about their experiences in and around school, and overcoming obstacles in general. Formula 734 Volume 2 coming soon!
