Bronti's Scholarship Contest


So Jerry's sister Bronti auditioned for a singing scholarship. She was one of 5finalists and to determine the winner, they had to perform at a concert. The winner would be chosen by the audience. To be honest, we were a little perturbed by the process. It seemed that the way that the person was to win was who brought the most people and it would basically be a popularity contest. (And also, the tickets were $15 a piece, so we were paying for the scholarship as well!) Anyways, it actually turned out to be a lot more fair. The concert she performed at was put on by the "Fiesta Chorus", a barbershop group of ladies. So there were actually a lot of people there just for the concert, not the scholarship contest. Bronti did an amazing job. (I definitely would not be able to stand up and give a solo.) She sang "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. She ended up getting 3rd place. But she is definitely a winner in my book! She showed such poise, courage, and personality. Way to go Bronti! I am so glad we were able to be a part of this great accomplishment in your life! We love you!
