Registration is open. The lobby is packed and the doors are getting ready to open for the solos, duos and trios competition. I’m standing by the registration line with DemBari & Davien. As we catch up, Andye J walks up and gets read to head into the advanced room for the competition. Always ready, always photogenic with some fresh new nails.
There’s a nervous energy to A-List Friday nights. Normally, it’s just a bonus class. With A-List there’s hair, make up, consumes and last minute rehearsals. Parents and family friends trying to make sure they get a good seat. Brec is getting the atmosphere ready for what should be a lively group.
As the solos get going, it’s a different caliber here in Jersey this weekend. The bar is getting set pretty high pretty early - which if you’ve been following the photo journal, isn’t surprising for New Jersey.
