Earlier this week, Coog Radio gave away tickets to see Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush at the Bayou Music Center and they went fast!

I remember the day Munfarid Zaidi first walked into the choir room during the middle of the school year. He was quiet but he had to be full of talent if he was in the Varsity Mixed Choir class on his first day of attending Clements High School. Just for those who did not attend […]
