On Saturday, April 27, 2019 the men of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. held its 71st Second District Talent Hunt competition at Martin Luther King Student Center on the campus of Delaware State University in Dover, Delaware. Thirty-seven students from around the Second District, which is made up of five states, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland were invited.
The students competed in seven categories for trophies, cash prizes and a chance to represent their host chapter and districts at Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. Leadership Conference in Atlantic City, NJ. The categories were Classical Instrumental and Vocal, Contemporary Instrumental and Vocal, Dance, Dramatic Interpretation and Visual Arts. The winners were chosen by a stellar panel of judges from the local Dover and Philadelphia areas. The contestants received their invitation to the Second District competition by winning their local chapter Talent Hunt competition.
Montclair High School senior Eva Calabrese was a 3rd place winner in the category of Visual Arts. Her pieces caught the eye of the judges, according to MHS Music Director and Omega Psi Phi’s Eta Pi Chapter Talent Hunt Chairman, Boyce Ennis. Calabrese was in a group of 11 students competing in her category. “We are all proud of our Montclair High School graduating senior who will be attending Temple University in Philadelphia, in the fall. Congratulations!” said Ennis.
