This year, Walt promised a tighter program, and he delivered. This was a very good group of singers. Best ever said Walt – maybe. Also more students were in the band this time. The announcers were good, expecially Deby Xiadani ’15, and the judges were better this year, as they gave their comments in groups of 2. They seemed better informed, especially Joelle Park, and Tyne Freeman, both singers as well.
All six singers were very good, and I particularly liked Raleighs song choices. Caitlin’s solo was a lot of fun, with a matching video to go along with it.
The voting went smoothly by text message, and the results came quickly.
The winner was Raleigh Nesbitt ’19, second was Nashe Mutenda ’20, and third was Caitlin Wanic ’21. My votes went to Nashe and Caitlin, so I wasn’t disappointed with these results.
There was a bit of a strange ending, where it seemed like Walt wanted to improvise a group song, that kind of fizzled out. This seemed a bit anticlimactic after the big announcement.
There was also lively dancing to accompany the opening, and a number of songs.
