MWAH! troupe member Erin Oechsel performs at Blue Ridge Junior High School in Mansfield on December 18, 2008 as lead vocalist for the song 'Mirror' in a piece about the importance of accepting the appearance of oneself instead of trying to emulate someone else who's perceived to be more attractive or to have celebrity status.

A 2008 graduate of Benet Academy in Lisle, Illinois, Erin's currently a junior music-theatre major at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.

She performed with the MWAH! troupe throughout her senior year in high school and returned for the Blue Ridge show during her holiday break from classes.
