Holly went to the L.A. Spotlight Semi-Finals this weekend at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Only 15 high school students were chosen from over 200 auditions. This is the toughest competition on the west coast and it is really an honor to be able to place this on Holly's resume.
She stopped for me to take a quick photo as she entered through the "Artist's Entrance", the same door that Placido Domingo, Josh Groban, and Kathleen Battle use!

Here is Holly warming up with her coach, Joan Simonek. She has been taking voice from Joan for nearly 7 years now, since she was in 6th grade!
Joan, Holly, and Peggy waiting for the results...Peggy is Holly's most favorite accompanist. She always tries to get her first!
After her competition, there was a reception where one of the five judges spoke. He told us that the 15 chosen here were the best and it was the most difficult spotlight yet. Apparently, they got into quite a heated discussion over who should be in the finals. Only 2 singers are chosen for the finals which will be held before 2,000 people at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. She didn't get win, but she's our first pick for sure! And she was definitely the best dressed and prettiest too! (I'm a little biased!)
