Sophia Wallace, senior category performer, has been in the show for the last three years.

“[I do] lots of practice in front of the mirror with my hairbrush,” Wallace joked. “I’ve been Youtubing lots of nice warmups and just stage presence and stuff like that.”

Faith Akres, 11, was vibrant as she prepared to perform the song ‘Riptide’ by Vance Joy with her band Cold Beat.

She spoke about her experience auditioning for the event.

“I think our whole band was pretty nervous,” said Akres. “And really excited, at least I was really excited, and sort of like thinking ahead, like ‘oh my gosh are we going to get through?’”

The best of the performers were awarded with the titles of Senior Star, Junior Star and Novice Star.
