Senior Spotlight

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

Brooke Ault

My name is Brooke Amanda Ault, and I am the daughter of Andrew and Luciana Ault. I have an older brother, Lucas, who is in college, a younger sister, Katelyn, whom I’m so happy to be in Sound System with this year, and a younger brother, Anthony, who is in middle school. I joined the Accents my freshman year, and I’m now entering my third year as a member of Sound System where I’ve served as an Assistant Dance Captain for the last two years. This is also my second year as a member of CG Singers, and this year I got the wonderful opportunity to serve as the female Company Manager.

Choir has been the most meaningful part of my high school career, and I wouldn’t trade any of my experiences for the world! Of the many memories I’ve made, my favorite would have to be winning at the Wheaton Warrenville South competition against Los Alamitos Sound FX with The Crown show. Not only did the competition last longer than ever before—we only got to the hotel after 3:00 AM—but I actually turned 17 in the warm-up room before our finals performance. Waiting in the dark and crowded gym for awards, my birthday got even better—Sound System beat Los Alamitos! It was exhilarating to win against one of the best show choirs in the nation, knowing all of our hard work and dedication had paid off to create what became an undefeatable show. I was so proud to see the people that I helped with choreography improve over the season, and that moment confirmed that all the time I spent in AIM was worth it. Outside of choir, I direct the Model United Nations club at CGHS as President where we discuss world issues in a parliamentary format. I also work at Kumon Learning Center as a tutor. After high school, I plan to attend college to study International Relations in hopes of becoming a diplomat.

I would first like to thank my parents for supporting me through all of the ups and downs of these past four years. They gave me the opportunity to participate in this amazing program, and have always been there for me when I needed guidance and encouragement. I thank the rest of my family for always attending my shows even after listening to my choir assignments. I’m also very grateful for my piano teacher, Heather Carlson, and my voice teachers, especially Donata Cucinotta, for helping me grow as a musician and singer. I would like to thank my directors, Mrs. Dice and Mr. Sanders, for not only running this program, but for developing me into the performer and person I am today. Lastly, I would like to thank God for His guidance and strength throughout each moment in choir, and throughout my life. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for my peers and I as we move forward into our last competition season and our futures!

Brody McMahen

Hello I’m Brody James McMahen. I am the son of Tracy and Travis McMahen. I also have one older sister and her name is Rylie McMahen. I have been involved in the Center Grove Choral Program for all four years of high school. My freshman year I was in Surround Sound, and then my sophomore year I made Sound System and CG Singers and I have been a part of those two groups ever since. Last year, as a junior, I was one of the Costume Mangers for SS and CGS. This year I am one of the Company Managers of CG Singers alongside Brooke Ault.

My favorite choir memory of all is definitely competition season. I love how close everyone in the group gets and how we all start to really bond. Seeing each other every single day in January helps us gain this tight knit feeling and an immense amount of trust. I love going out and competing with these two groups because we all have such an amazing connection. Winning with these groups is what I look forward to on each Saturday during February and March. Besides choir, I am involved in the Early College program here at CG. I am also a member of Best Buddies. After high school, I plan on attending either Ball State University or the University of Indianapolis to major in Elementary Education.

I would like to thank Mrs. Dice, Mr. Norman, and Mr. Sanders for always believing in me. They have always had my back and always seen my full potential. Even when I am at a loss and do not know how to figure something out, they are always there to help me out. I would also like to thank Mrs. Webb for always being a smiling face I can talk to. I have been volunteering at the costume closet work nights since my freshman year and have created a close bond with Mrs. Webb and the rest of the costume team. I know I can always count on Mrs. Webb to be there and listen to what I have to say and she will give me just the response I need. She and her team have always looked out for me and my close friends and that will always stick with me. Lastly, I would like to thank my family for the endless amount of support and kindness I have received within my time in the choral program. Whether it was coming to the school at nine pm to pick me up from a six to nine rehearsal or waking up at four in the morning to take me to the buses for a competition, you have always been there to support me. I will always appreciate the sacrifices you have made for me to be able to be in such an amazing program.
