Mr. & Mrs. Cabrini Pageant 2015 by Slidely Slideshow
The Mr. and Miss Cabrini pageant, hosted annually by CAP board, was filled with excitement in Grace Hall. However, this year, there was a bit of added stress in the crucial time before the pageant.
Juniors, Ben Roda and Anthony DiMartino, dropped out with less than 48 hours until the pageant.
To cover for them, sophomores Giorgio Courtis and Mark DiSalvatore were asked to be in the pageant with a day’s notice.
“It was really hard to find replacements,” Brianna Ridgely, senior psychology major and CAP board president, said. “Normally, we don’t take sophomores into pageant, but this year we made an exception and Giorgio and Mark. For having a day to prepare, they did phenomenally on stage so we’re really happy that we got to have them.”
Even with the changes, the audience and all who were a part of the pageant were excited and pleased.
“It’s really exciting,” Samantha Murray, junior English and history major, said. “A lot of the times you always have friends who are in the pageant or people that you know just from seeing them on campus so it’s always fun to root for them.”
After hours of laughs from emcee DC Ervin, and the traditional spirit, surprise and talent rounds, contestants came out on stage dressed to impress. Eliminations left the final round to seniors Georgie Nave, Danton Moyer, Dan Luner, Mackenzie Harris and Caitlyn Poole, as well as junior Mary Kate Moran. These contestants each answered a question about themselves.
To conclude the night, former Mr. Cabrini Colin Kilroy and former Miss Cabrini Lauren Hight crowned Dan Luner and Mary Kate Moran as their successors.
“In my book, the contestants did a great job and it was a complete honor to be up there and judging,” Kilroy said.
“It was a lot of fun and I’m really happy for Mary Kate, and to pass on my crown to her since she is another friend of mine, so I know it’s in good hands,” Hight said.
“I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to have the title to be a Mr. Cabrini or Miss Cabrini, but it’s definitely going to be fun to represent the school in this role over the next year,” Luner said. “I love Cabrini and I’ll always bleed blue and white after graduation, so it’s a pretty special feeling.”
