There was song, dance, drama and poetry when the 18 eighteen quarterfinalists of the Miss Guyana Teen Scholarship competed at the preliminary competition at the St Joseph High School last Saturday night in the run up to tonight’s pageant.

The talent segment opened with 15-year-old Quissieana Odle doing a dance followed by Devya Singh singing a Spanish song with subtitles projected in the background. Carolann Correia came next with dramatic poetry and dance that focused on environmental issues. Niara Amsterdam performed a cover of “This Is Me” and Ashley Sands followed with a dramatic poem about an abused girl who found her way eventually. Queen’s College student Sarona Fraser serenaded the audience with her cover of Rihanna’s “Stay”.
