Senior Michaela Vine won a $500 scholarship for her singing at Drama Districts on Nov. 5. West Shore finished with superiors for the majority of events.
Senior Joseph Held performed three events: large group musical, small group musical, and a duet musical.
“Troupe 6034 did really well,” he said. “It was really nice to see all our friends from other schools and then being able to beat them in the end. For all of my three events I received superiors, the highest rating, so I was very happy with the way things turned out.”
Chorus teacher Maureen Fallon has been reviewing and critiquing the participants on and off since the beginning of the year.
“It was a great day,” Fallon said. “It’s exciting to see the students so successful and so many of them qualify to go onto State Festival in March.”
Vine also received critic’s choice for her solo musical.
“Since it’s my senior year I was only expecting to have fun,” Vine said. “I didn’t even know that I had won Judge’s Choice until the troupe was attacking me yelling ‘You won!’ At that point, I was already extremely happy and then when they announced the scholarship winners. It was one of those moments where you found something that you truly love. I was speechless. I’m so glad I was able to represent Troupe 6034, and that I get to go out with a bang.”
