Casting directors, talent scouts and a couple of thousand specta- tors did it for themn September 6 at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) where the local duo scored third-place honours at the presti- gious Rising Star Competition. Longtime friends and students at Bishop Reding, they began the five-round national showcase back in July when more than 200 singers between 15 and 21 years old were initially auditioned. Acting and dancing categories were also part of the competition. With an inspired performance of Take Me or Leave Me - one of the popular tunes from the musical Rent - the Milton teens made it into the late summer contest and gradually survived preliminary, quar- terfinal and semnitinal rounds. Michelle described the competition as overwhelming, particularly in the last round of 16. "The irst group was so great that Diana and I juat hugged each other and said 'Oh, no'," recalled the 19-year-old of Rising Stars Labour Day Weekend finale. Fortunately the two were up second-to- last and had enough time to re-focus. And with plenty of supporters in the audience - both family and friends - there was more than ample motivation for them to tumn in one of their best renditions of the four-minute song. "We'd neyer done a competition of this magnitude before and it felt amazing to do so well," said 17-year-old Diana. Added Michelle, "It was such great exposure for us. You neyer know when one of these casting dîrectors or talent scouts is going to remember you and rec- ommend you for something." In addition to some temrfic singing, the young ladies suggest the visual and spirit- ed elements of Take Me or Leave Me helped clinch them a top three finish.
