THANK YOU!! This weekend the Uptown Music Collective returned to the Community Arts Center stage to kick off the 2021-2022 Performance Season with WUMC: FM Radio Hits of the ’70s!
This was the first major two-night performance for the students in over a year with full seating available in the theatre. Over its two-night run over 1,100 people watched and streamed this epic performance and the vibe was absolutely electric! It takes a lot to put a show like this together and we would be remiss if we didn’t thank everyone involved…
A major thanks to this year’s UMC partners including Geisinger’s Janet Weis Children’s Hospital, Hudock Capital Group, UPMC, Chartwell Hotels, KFC, Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships, The Kiessling Group of Janney Montgomery Scott, Lycoming College, Woodlands Bank, Marco Technologies, Williamsport Sun-Gazette, FASTSIGNS, Pennsylvania College of Technology, Pepsi of Williamsport, and The Hartman Group for making this amazing performance opportunity possible!
Special thanks to our guest DJs who volunteered their time and talent to the WUMC “broadcast” including Gary Chrisman, John Finn, Ian Emerson, Ted Minier, Barbara Evans, Mark The Shark, Jake Michaels, and Lou Kolb!
Thank you to our media sponsors WZXR along with all of Backyard Broadcasting, Lamar Advertising, The Graphic Hive, Engage Media, 92.1 WSQV, and NorthCentralPA.com for giving us the support to make a show like this happen! Special thanks to the Graphic Hive for producing our first show shirt in over a year!

The students of the Uptown Music Collective return to the Community Arts Center stage to kick off their 2021-2022 Performance Season with WUMC: FM Radio Hits of the ‘70s. This performance will focus on radio rock & pop hits of the 1970s from artists such as Bruce Springsteen, The Steve Miller Band, Peter Frampton, Free, Heart, Bob Seger, Blondie, Pat Benatar, Eddie Money, Meat Loaf, and many more. This concert will be unlike anything the school has presented before, featuring area DJ’s live on stage, giving the audience a “retro ‘70s radio atmosphere” while adding a new and exciting element to the Collective’s traditionally outstanding live performances.

In light of the growing number of COVID-19 cases in Lycoming County and in accordance with current directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Pennsylvania College of Technology and the Community Arts Center will be requiring masks indoors for everyone regardless of their vaccination status. This decision will be reevaluated every two weeks. The decision will be informed by local case numbers, vaccination rates, test positivity rates, and the level of spread in Lycoming County. Depending on the review of these metrics, it is possible that these performances may require both a ticket and a mask.
When required, if you do not feel you can attend a performance and wear a mask, please notify the Box Office and we will refund the cost of your tickets. No one will be allowed into the theatre without a mask, so please don’t attend if you feel you can’t comply with this directive.
