Marie is a 10 year old fifth grade student at Our Lady Star of the Sea School in Solomons.  She comes by her talent and love of music honestly as her grandfather was an avid barbershop singer, and she enjoyed watching him perform from the time she was born.  She sings in the School Choir, has performed in several school plays and talents shows. She also enjoys Girl Scouts and soccer.  Marie dedicates her performance in "Godspell" to her grandparents who instilled the love of music in her heart, and to her mom for "always believing in her."
