What was your favorite part?
My favorite part was just performing with all the seniors I’ve known throughout the years.

What did you do for the talent portion?
I played the piano and a little of the harmonica.

What do you think about the questions asked?
Some were hard, but I got all the easy ones, which can be a good or bad thing. One of my questions was “What animated character would you be and why?” I said Spongebob Squarepants.

Were you nervous at all throughout the competition?
It was weird. Being in theatre I don’t get nervous too often anymore. In a play you are with multiple people on stage, but in the case there was a lot more pressure because you’re by yourself and all eyes are just on you.

How did you feel about the competition?
I did think I had some tough competition. There were great singers such as Ramon Lott and Cole Shuffield. I didn’t think too much about having a shot at winning. I just wanted to perform.
