Transfer Center Specialist Frances Fon performed with Cheesecake Diva (yes, the ice cream flavor) on April 20 during the first annual Sing Xuan Singing Competition in the Jackson Theater. The group covered “What Hurts the Most,” by Rascal Flatts and “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt. Fon and her old college friends have played at weddings and anniversaries.
"I always appreciate the opportunity to preform," she said, "even though I still get nervous."
Fon finds music therapeutic.
"I love my job, but I also like having that outlet," Fon said. Fon also helped judge the competition that night and was pleased with the performances.
“(I was) very proud of every contestant," she said.
EOPS counselor Mzao Waters' heavy metal band, Mukagee, performed three songs, employing a full arsenal of deafening guitar riffs, rapid fire drum work and seismic bass lines. The performance was a departure from the night’s mellow mood.
