Delta Idol finalists put on a show

Young singers perform in front of judges, big crowd at Tsawwassen Arts Centre

Delta Parks, Recreation & Culture's first-ever Delta Idol winners were crowned last Friday at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.

In the younger age category (10 to 13), Connor Nelson took first with his rendition of Human. Hannah Brandon was second and Marika Lyszczyk was third.

In the older age category (14 to 18), Raegan Ghegan sang Mama's Broken Heart to win while Zoe Evans took second and Laurel Mitzel was third.

Over 100 people came out to watch the event, said Jacqueline Hamlin, recreation programmer at the arts centre.

"It was a great turnout," she said.

"The crowd was very supportive and all the kids did really well."

Finalists got to sing one song and received feedback from a panel of judges.

Because of the calibre of the singing, choosing winners was very difficult, said Carroll Lefebvre, one of the judges.

"I sincerely hope that all the contestants continue to follow their dreams and keep on singing. They are all great singers," said Lefebvre.
