In tribute to FM area effort to save its cities over the past two years, local Concordia College student Jason Sather composed a song called "Sandbaggin" that aired on local radio station Y-94 during the flood fighting effort in 2010. After receiving positive feedback on his song Sather created a music video with the help of the Concordia Track team and friends.
