And the winners of 2014 Mr. and Miss Cabrini pageant are Colin Kilroy and Lauren Hight. Both contestants competed along with 10 other students. Everyone was waiting for the winners to be crowned.
Jennifer Cannon and Kiera Williams, the directors of the CAP Board EPIC event, along with the help of the staff put together an event that everyone enjoyed. Former Mr. and Miss Cabrini John Miller and Jennarose DiGiacomo were sitting with the rest of the judges waiting to crown the winners. Staff of CAP Board escorted the students, faculty and family to their seats as the event started at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12, in Grace Hall.
The emcees for the night were Dakaboom. The two men act entertained the night with a compilation of 50 television theme songs, commercial theme songs and a name song. While the audience waited for the contestants to come back out, Dakaboom kept the audience laughing.
As the contestants came out introducing who they are and showing off their personalities, the crowd continued to cheer. First round the female contestants came out to play “Dakaboom Says”, also known as “Simon says.” The winners of the round were Alyssa Reape and Lauren Hight.
The male contestants came on the stage to play “Dakaboom Says” ending with the winners Georgie Nave and Josh Muska. Dakaboom kept the audience laughing into tears while moments after the contestants presented their talents.
Junior Danton Moyer dedicated his song to his mother by playing the drums for everyone to hear. Senior Kellie Fusco reenacted the scene from Rent of Maureen’s protest. Seniors Mario Marino and Anna Giangiulio shocked the crowd with their voices singing “She Will be Loved” by Maroon 5.
Continuing the event with her eye-opening dance, senior Gabby Tinoco did her modern dance to “Turn to Stone” by Ingrid Michaelson. Senior Victoria Luthe shared with the audience and judges her accomplishments and cheerleading story.
Junior Georgie Nave showed everyone his skills on the piano while he sang “Stay with me” by Sam smith. Nave brought out his surprise guest Joey Rettino who acted as his hype man to further entertain the audience.
Although the contestants showed off all their talents, that did not stop senior Alexa Milano from showing off her baking skills by giving the whole audience cupcakes that night. While everyone enjoyed their cupcakes the one that holds the Miss Cabrini crown blew everyone away with her hip-hop dance to “Grown Woman” by Beyonce and she showed off her skills with her color guard flag.
Current Mr. Cabrini junior Collin Kilroy brought everyone’s attention to his tennis skills. He used former Mr. Cabrini Jon Miller’s basketball skills video as an inspiration. The entertainment round ended with seniors Alyssa Reape and Josh Muska singing a song from “Tangled”, the Disney movie, incorporating their sense of humor.
Then it came down to elimination time, getting closer and closer to crowning the winners. However, before the winners were crowned the remainder of males and females came out in their formal wear to answer interview question. As some answers were tear jerking and some were life changing, there were only two crowns to be given.
As the audience waited patiently while the were getting entertained by the hilarious Dakaboom, moments later the winners were announced.
“I just want everyone to see me as the same person as I always am, I wanted to represent the school in a positive way,” said Mr. and Miss Cabrini Colin Kilroy and Lauren Hight said. Neither of the two expected the outcome but they were very appreciative of the position that they both earned.
