Mohawk Idol

Friday, May 11th, the Northwest High School held the finale for the 2012 Mohawk Idol Competition. The competition was close with only a 9 vote difference separating the winner and 2nd place. Both Carly Harness and Brooklyn Jones performed beautifully during the finale, but in the end the title of Mohawk Idol fell to sophomore Preston Hall with a work he had written himself. The first showing of this year’s senior video and some humorous renditions from the immediately local “band”, The Replacements wrapped up the performances. The production of Mohawk Idol was produced, sponsored, and made possible by the Northwest Art and Media Club advised by Mr. Chris Enz.

Congratulations Preston!
