Tonight was ‘s New York City Bound competition, and we could not be more proud of our Warriors.
Out of nearly 200 students who applied, Lilah made it all the way to the FINAL round, finishing as one of the Top 11 performers in the entire competition. What an incredible accomplishment. While she didn’t take home the final title, she absolutely left her heart and soul on that stage, especially during her final performance of “Disneyland” from the musical Smile. We are beyond proud of the artistry, vulnerability, and passion she brought to every moment tonight.
The best part? We still get one more year with her, as she’s only a junior. 💙💛
We also want to recognize Brody and Rory, who represented Schroeder with so much class and heart tonight. Even after not advancing to the Top 20 round, they were backstage cheering everyone on and supporting their peers every step of the way. Brody even started an epic musical theatre sing along backstage as the kids waited for their results. That kind of kindness, sportsmanship, and love for theatre is exactly what being in our program is all about.
