On Saturday, November 12th, 57 students from grades 4-12 came into Hilliard Bradley High School for a big audition. Hilliard Idol is a singing competition based on the hit television show “American Idol”. The audition gives constructive feedback despite the outcome of the individual's audition results. There are 10 finalists from each division that are selected to move on to the finalists which take place Saturday, November 19th!
On November 19th, 10 children from the junior division (4th-8th grade) , and 10 teens from the senior division (9th-12th grade), competed to win their division and be the new Hilliard Idol champions! The show begins at 7 pm and is projected to last 2 hours. When you purchase a ticket, you are eligible to vote for one person in each division. The judges have a percentage of impact towards the overall results but your vote helps. Jared Morisue-Lesser (11), says “I’m looking forward to watching all of the other finalists, and hopefully win it all”. The finalists have said they would appreciate your support!
A tradition that happens every year at hilliard idol is that the winner of each division (from the previous year) will come back to give an amazing performance! This year that is Piper Brill (Senior Division) & Delilah Klochak (Junior Division). All three Jaguar A Cappella groups will also be making a big appearance at Hilliard idol as well. This will consist of Shades of Blue, Echo, and Wave who have all prepared one song individually and one group song! They are so excited to share all of the work they have been preparing for this event! Ally Hunt (10) says, “I’m so excited to perform with Echo and watch the other groups too!”. Tickets are on sale, so make sure to check out the Bradley Choir, or the individual A Cappella groups instagrams for the links and more information!
Overall this is going to be an amazing night full of so much talent and amazing music. Come out and support your peers at this year's Hilliard Idol. Tickets are $12 which includes voting! Hope to see you there.
