Felicia Mack El-Amin's Audition Story

FELICIA MACK EL-AMIN - CLASS OF 1981
​
​In 1977 I took the A train to 135th Street and looked up and saw what seemed to be a million stairs! I had my audition that day and I had prepared and studied and I was READY! I was honored to coach with the infamous Theresa Merritt from Broadway and "That's My Mama,"and she whipped me into shape so I would be guaranteed a spot in this prestigious High School I had always heard so much about!

My Junior High School Music Teacher Anne-Marie Hudley rehearsed me for the entire week leading up to the audition date; she seemed just as anxious as me! After tackling the 200+ steps up the hill, I finally reached my destination and I just stood there for a moment looking at the building. Once inside, a feeling of "home" and a total sense of peace flooded my entire body and I knew that's where I belonged! I was auditioned by Mrs. Edith DelValle and she said I had a beautiful instrument and she enjoyed my audition. She said she was impressed at how prepared I was! I said thank you and that it would be an honor for me to learn and grow at this school! The rest is history! I was in Solo Voice Class, I was in the Movie "FAME" and I was honored to be selected to sing the National Anthem at our Class of 1981 graduation! Nothing but wonderful times at M&A and life-long Friends!
