This was taken RIGHT after we competed. |

We were BEAMING. Only because we hadn't heard anyone else yet.. |

Five seconds later, we stand up, screaming, "OH MY GOSH!!! THAT'S US!!" |

But that night (around midnight) was when the REAL fun began..
Games.. junk food.. etc.. you get the point! |

|
At one point there were over 40 girls gathered here. |
Next came face masks&singing tags on the balcony.. |

|
Keep in mind.. this all takes place several hours after midnight.. |
The Saturday Night Show: The
YWIH chorus, Brava, and Tone Appetit
Each performer was *outstanding!* |

And then back to the University Center to PARTY... uh.. I mean SING.
Same thing.

|
Finally.. the other contestants got to hear us.. being that we were Contestant #1. |
Since we hadn't sang together enough already.. |
