Senior Spotlight

Each week we will be featuring a new set of senior choir members.

Phoebe Ferguson

Hello, my name is Phoebe Elizabeth Ferguson! My parents are Tricia and Brandyn Ferguson and I have two older siblings, Parker and Chloe. I was in Accents my freshman year and I have been in Debtones for the past three years. Of those three years in Debs, I was tech crew leader my junior year and I am now one of the company managers! Alongside choir, I am in Early College and the Spanish National Honors Society. I also help run the bible study within Debtones.

My favorite choir memory is winning Nationals my sophomore year with the Classic Lit Show. It has been my favorite show to perform and winning Nationals with your best friends is unlike anything else. After high school, I plan to attend college to study Nutrition and become a Dietician. I want to thank my parents for supporting me financially, coming to all the shows and competitions, and pushing me to audition for choir in the first place. I also want to thank Mr. Norman, Mrs. Dice, and Mr. Sanders for all they do for the choir department and for helping all the choirs be the best they can be. Lastly, I want to thank my fellow Debtones for being the best teammates/friends to perform and grow with.

Lillian Samsel

My name is Lillian Ayla Samsel, and I am one of the Company Managers for the Debtones. I am very thankful to my parents, Traci and Chad Samsel for their support in the four years I have done choir. I would like to thank my siblings Liona and Lance for showing me how much I have grown over the past few years.

I have been in both CG singers and Debtones for three years and a section leader in both choirs as well.

Over the past three years, I have had many favorite memories, but if I had to pick one, it would be Lafayette Jefferson during my sophomore year. We had been performing our second song – Scarlet Letter – on stage and I remember someone’s under skirt falling off. As we transitioned into the ballad I could see the tech crew waving at us to get it off stage. I had made up my mind and as I moved to my next blocking position I geared up and kicked the crinoline into the wings. Once the performance was over and we went to watch the playback of it, at that moment in the show, we all laughed as we watched the skirt fly offstage. Even in my senior year of Debtones, we can still bring up that memory and laugh.

My plans for the future after high school are to go to Indiana University and get my BSN in neonatal nursing. I hope to pursue a successful nursing career to help others. Finally, I would like to thank Mrs. Dice and Mr. Norman for their contribution to these past four years which I will never forget.
