Students at the high school participated in the fourth
annual Freeport Idol singing competition before their peers, teachers
and administrators. The popular event, which serves as a fundraiser for
the ninth-grade select chorus, is based on the national reality series
"American Idol."
Freeport Idol featured various solo and duet songs performed
by students who competed for first, second and third place, and were
assessed by three guest judges. The winners were Sincere Williams (first
place), Myles Carter (second place), and Michael Desir and Makayla
Willocks (third place), who performed a duet. Williams, Carter, and
Desir and Willocks won $150, $50 and $25, respectively. The guest judges
were former Freeport Board of Education president and Freeport Village
trustee Debra Mulé; Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir assistant director and
administrator Brandon Camphor; and Brooklyn-based R&B and gospel
recording artist Taneka Samone.
The ninth-grade select chorus raised $700 in ticket sales.
The district congratulates all the students who participated in
showcasing their remarkable talents and helped make the event a success.
