Senior Spotlight

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

Anna DeLuna

Hello, my name is Anna Michele De Luna and I am a three year member of both Sound System and Center Grove Singers. I have been blessed to have been a part of two prestigious choirs and to be the Dance Captain of Sound System this year. I would first like to thank my mother and father, Michele and Ruben De Luna, for always supporting me in everything I do. I would not be able to do what I love without the love and support of them. I would also like to thank my sisters, Laney and Grace De Luna, for introducing me to show choir at such a young age and being amazing role models for me all throughout my life. Lastly, I would like to thank Mrs. Dice, Mr. Norman, and Mr. Sanders. They have taught me so many things that I will continue to carry with me as I start my life after graduating from high school.

After high school, I plan to study psychology at an in-state school. My favorite part of choir has been all of the relationships I have gotten the chance to build. I truly feel like I have a second family when I am in choir. I also love the adrenaline of performing on stage, and it is a feeling that I only ever get when I am performing with my choir family. My favorite memory from being in show choir was winning Grand Champions at Franklin Central my junior year. We put countless hours of hard work and sweat into what we love to do, so it was so amazing to feel rewarded against some of the hardest competition that we face throughout the whole season. I am so excited to finish out my last year in choir with such an amazing and talented group and am so excited for the memories that this year has in store!

Krishaan Vadia

Hi! My name is Krishaan Jigar Vadia, and my parents are Jigar Vadia and Palak Shah. I’m happy to have been in Sound System for all four years of high school.

I will never forget the first time Sound System won nationals at Heart of America Orlando 2022 during my freshman year of choir. I am grateful for the spirit of camaraderie and family every group of Sound System has made me feel a part of. Some of my closest friends have been made through choir, and that is something that will always stay with me as I enter the next chapter of my life.

Besides choir and Sh’Boom, I’ve enjoyed being involved in physics research, STEM outreach and volunteering, Leadership Johnson County, student government, Math NHS, French NHS/French Club, CGTV, and more! After high school, I’d like to study physics, math, computer science, or data science and minor in vocal performance or French in college.

First and foremost, I am incredibly grateful to my parents for supporting me in my journey, both in choir and out. Secondly, I’d like to thank all of my friends I’ve made through choir who have always been a constant in my life, as well as their families who have treated me like their own son. Finally, I’d like to thank Mrs. Dice, Mr. Norman, and Mr. Sanders for not only giving me a first-class choral education, but for instilling in me some of the most important life lessons I will ever get to learn—ones that I will continue to carry with me throughout my life.

There are two quotes on the choir wall that I see and think about every day:

1. Passion looks like aggression to the unmotivated

2. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard

They are lessons that I will never forget. I am truly grateful to my wonderful educators for devoting themselves to their kids.
