The Senior Council hosted the annual Senior Celebrity Awards last Friday, March 25, 2022, for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. During the event, seniors who believed that they stood out in a particular category ran for various superlatives against their peers. The entire graduating class voted for the nominees based on their talents, personalities, relationships, and appearances.
This year, there were 23 categories with a total of nearly 100 individuals signing up; each superlative was represented by anywhere from 1 to 8 candidates.
In addition to the announcement of the winners, the show featured performances by talented students from the graduating class. Performances ranged from song covers of popular tunes to impersonations of popular teachers, to even choreographed a lip-sync performance to “Telephone” by Lady Gaga.
Although there were many incredible performances that afternoon, a few stuck out in particular:
Marie-Michelle Danovich’s masterful rendition of “Midnight” by Joe Satriani on her electric guitar.
Jasmine Morris’s powerful vocals during her renditions of “All of Me” by John Legend and “Say You Won’t Let Go” by James Arthur.
Tristan Leone’s promposal to girlfriend, Angel Lyn Legaspi, seconds before winning the coveted title of “Class Couple.”
Kenda Canzius’ stunning performance of “Love on the Brain” by Rihanna.
Eleni Dadian’s encapsulating live performance alongside returning Madison alum, Sahar Nadi, ‘21, as they performed Eleni’s debut single “Room For One.”
