OTTUMWA —

In the semi-finals, the Judges’ Choice winners included: Chantelle Niner (Ottumwa), performing in sign language “See You Again” by Carrie Underwood; Jay Jacobson (Des Moines), singing “One Song Glory” from the Broadway musical, “Rent;” Tyler Breeding (Fairfield), performing “Empty Chairs, Empty Tables” from the Broadway musical “Les Miserables;” Julia Beall (Moravia), singing “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” by Shania Twain; Mason Ferguson (Wayland), performing “If Ever I Would Leave You” from “Camelot;” Stephanie Fisk (Bloomfield), performing “Breathe” by Anna Nalick; and Kitt Linville (Ottumwa), singing One Direction’s “Little Things.”
The People’s Choice winners of the semi-final round were: Tori-Kai Drummond (Ottumwa), singing “All Good Things Come to an End” by Nelly Furtado and Alexis Petary (Bloomfield), performing an original piece.
Tickets for the finals are $7 each and will be available at the door with all funds raised going to support future performing arts events at Indian Hills.
