Semi Finals Night 2 - Another Canadian Leads the Pack
This was out 3rd show at the Liberty Theater - we did the Wednesday of each of the preliminary rounds and the Semi-Final. The marketing strategy behind this is that it will build up to a really big crowd for the 3rd show.
Bingo!
Sold out.
Dylan Mandlsohn got the closest thing to a legitimate rock-star style encore I think I've seen for a 10-minute set. The audience literally would not stop applauding and cheering. Host Kermet Apio ad-libbed that they had given Dylan TWO encore points, which of course made them cheer even louder. Wow.
Tyler Boeh, in the final spot, also rocked the full house, and finished 2nd for the evening. Rory Scovel was 3rd, so Dylan was the only Canadian on the medal stand. But countryman Damonde Tshritter placed 4th, and young Jeff Dye, performing in front of his parents who drove down all the way from Kent, was 5th.
Big casino shows the next two nights - and you know what that means. . .buffets!
