After a night of showcasing their talents, answering questions and being quizzed on Cabrini trivia, Phil Haggerty and Danielle Alio were crowned Mr. and Miss Cabrini 2010.

The pageant was held on Wednesday, Nov. 10 in the atrium of Grace Hall.

Gianna Shikitino and Justin Sillner hosted the pageant and kept the crowd engaged in the show from start to finish.

“I never did anything like this before,” Sillner said. “Gianna has experience [hosting the pageant] and it’s very exciting to work with her.”

“I’m excited that I got to do this with Justin because we are close and understand each other’s humor,” Shikitino said.

After Shikitino and Sillner introduced the 11 contestants, the talent portion of the pageant got underway.

Students inside the packed atrium of Grace Hall cheered on their fellow classmates and friends as they tried to impress the four judges with their various talents.

This year’s judges were faculty members Nicholas Uliano and Carol Serotta, area coordinator Mike Mullen and SEaL administrative assistant Snezana Ilic.

Ranging from singing and dancing to stand-up comedy, the talents of the contestants were extraordinary and left the audience cheering, applauding and looking for more.

Next up was the interview segment of the pageant, which allowed the audience members to catch a glimpse of the contestants’ personalities and see what they stand for.
