Kristen's Bio
“I have been unofficially training for a lip sync battle for years. I travel every week for work so if you see me driving down the road and my lips are moving, I am singing. In the kitchen cooking, there is loud music and I am singing. Anywhere there is music, I am singing along. How this will this translate to onstage? I have absolutely no idea but I am willing to find some courage, possibly swallow some pride and give it a try. This busy, tired Mom is ready grab her peeps and break out into song and dance for an amazing charity. “

NATHAN'S BIO
Nathan's love for music began at a young age selling tickets for his own performance on his grandparents garage roof. Not much has changed as he now "performs" regularly with his students at Spotswood High School as their Choir Director and music teacher. Nathan, a.k.a. DJ Fit, also DJs/Emcees 30+ weddings each year around VA. He and his wife even sing professionally with Good Company, a local a cappella group and his 3 children all sing at home and beyond. Music will always be a part of his life so it stands to reason that eventually he would participate in a lip sync battle. Here's hoping he won't become TikTok famous for his bad performance, but still somehow raise lots of money for these important students and music programs.

MAY-MAIDEN

PRISCILLA'S BIO
Known by thousands of people….in her family....as the greatest shower singer in a generation...Priscilla brings her A-game to every song that she doesn’t sing. It all began with a young girl who had a dream. She started singing into the handle of a hairbrush at a very young age for her captive mother and sister before graduating to her very own karaoke machine. As she grew, so did the legend. As told in hushed voices across the cafeteria, Priscilla’s lip syncing prowess made its way into the elementary school classrooms of Rockingham County. She spent more time on Broadway (VA) than any other person in this competition. But let’s talk turkey. Priscilla’s extensive dancing background includes her brief moonlighting experience (for one night) as the dancing jake from John C. Myers Elementary School. It will never be forgotten. Her distinguished crew includes a British villain, two bombastic bald men, a tall drink of water with serious sock game, and the gentleman known near and far as Pretty Ricky. Disclaimer: Much like a show at Seaworld, if you sit in the front two rows you are gonna get...well, you need to attend to find out.

EMANI's BIO
Coming to the stage for a one-time-only performance... You might have seen her dancing in front of a group exercise class or maybe humming a tune while teaching swim lessons.  You may have even caught her dancing on TikTok or passionately car-singing through the ‘Burg. She’s a daughter, a wife, an educator, and for the first time ever… she is a “singer!”  The one, the only, Emani Morse!

STANLEY'S BIO
I wowed crowds in my 5th grade production of "CATS" and I've owned the stage as an awkward teen in the 7th grade drama "Taming of the Shrew".  The limelight felt good but the fame was too much for me. I locked away my stage talents and took to the track for several years. On my feet, I am no stranger to competition, stellar performances, and winning. But alas, the time has come for me to stop chasing gold medals and dust off these golden pipes for their return to the stage!

​Tim's Bio​
​I grew up singing classic hymns in the Mennonite church and when in college I toured Europe with a school choir looking for my breakout moment. I thought that moment had finally come singing karaoke one summer downtown when I did “You Lift Me Up” by Josh Groban at the Dodger but was quickly made aware that “breakout” was far from what that performance was. I still sing from time to time
when nobody is looking but that successfully killed my singing and hopes of a church songs career…….until now!

Why Are the Arts Important?

“The arts are an essential element of education, just like reading, writing, and arithmetic…music, dance, painting, and theater are all keys that unlock profound human understanding and accomplishment.”
   –William Bennett, Former US Secretary of Education
