Rip the Hallways/Highschool Icon

For those you who are asking about the Rip the Hallways Competition or have sponsored Angel, I wanted to give an update on the competition.

Since Angel auditioned for the Rip the Hallways competition in the fall of 2009 it was postponed twice. Once because the producers were seeking out more sponsors and attempting to make the show even flashier and bigger. The second time it was postponed indefinitely due to inclement weather on the western part of the state. It seems that the second postponement actually caused major issues with the host venue as well as loss of sponsors. Some contestants actually auditioned during the summer of 2009 and are still waiting. Unfortunately at this time we have heard nothing more about the show.

We did travel to Fayetteville in October for the pilot episode and watched the first round of contestants. You can see them and parts of their performances in the commercial made for the rest of the competition here http://www.beatmakerz.net/ripthehallways/

The kids are all extremely talented and the competition is fierce. This performance is the one that we thought was by far the best.

Hopefully they will get things taken care of soon so all these kids can show what they are made of.

If you sponsored Angel for the competition, I am moving forward with plans to advertise for you even though the show may not happen. I am working on updating all the links on her blog and youtube pages. We also have plans in the works to move ahead with her charity organization and will be advertising and putting out flyers recognizing our sponsors at that time. All sponsorship monies were used for furthering Angel’s music endeavors; either for travel expenses for the October trip to Fayetteville and in preparation for the show (costume, hair, make-up), misc supplies such as guitar strings, sheet music etc. If you have any questions about how the money was used please feel free to contact us. We would be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Even if the show never happens there will always be lots of competitions and shows and Angel will always be
involved if at all possible. Check back often or you may miss the next step in her career!
