Kait Connelly |
Kait may have knocked you over with her extremely powerful voice in the past, but don’t worry, she’s really a nice girl on the inside. Her voice is to her like fire is to a dragon – a mostly non-ferocious dragon. At our spring concert, she warned us all that it was “gonna start raining men”, but I have a feeling her message may have been heard by everyone on campus! Never have I heard a more effortless belting of some of music’s toughest tunes. She has opened our minds to song ideas that we may not have considered in the past, and that is not an easy feat. This year will be her third, and we hope that by the end of this year, we will have figured out how to channel and convert some of the power that escapes from her lungs into energy that can be used to heat the Belles practice room until the end of time. |
Lily Donatelli |
It’s been a long time since the Belles have been graced with the presence of such a wonderful bundle of energy as Lily. She radiates good vibes at all moments of the day, but never so much as when she’s on stage doing what she loves the most! She’s the kind of belle who brings only her positive attitude to practice (not to mention, the cutest clothes in world history). You might catch her around campus ballin’ like a G, but be sure to check her out at Chordbusters as well! Her mellifluous voice can bring a dead song to life – really, it’s happened (with Natalie’s help). Never in my teenage dreams did I imagine that would be possible. |
Natalie McQuiston |
Natalie is our other breathtaking high-note-singing angel. I don’t know if there are ledger lines that extend as far as her high-reaching vocals can. She dabbles in other choirs and that is what gives Natalie her unique style of singing. She’s classically trained, classily dressed, and brings to the Belles an overall sense of classiness - of which we possibly need more. Her pipes sound like they’re crystal clear, which are a perfect match for her vision for the group! Her ideas in practice prove her infallible dedication to us, as individuals, and our sound on the whole. |
Hayley Mercer |
Watch out for this one – really. She sings (duh!), she dances, she can lead countless outdoor activities, and she does marksmanship. Versatile enough? I think so. Not only does she do each of these, but she actually has a knack for all of them, and the way it seems, she won’t stop until she’s on top! What’s that mean for the group? It means we have a lot to look forward to. With only one year under her belt, Hayley is not afraid to lead with grace whenever opportunity calls. (Why does opportunity always knock?). Either way, the bass section just wouldn’t be the same without this multi-talented initiative-taking wiener. I mean winner. |
Allison Nuara |
Or is it Lily? No, it’s definitely Allison. I think. Hmmm… no, definitely Allison. I can tell because she’s the one who fearlessly stepped up to the mic and rocked “Uncharted” in the spring. Definitely Allison. Allison shows her true colors at practice and around campus. Constantly laughing, sassing, and being laughed “with”, it is impossible not to enjoy yourself around this enchanting bella. She once mentioned that she doesn’t really get nervous for performances… can you imagine that? But, really, it’s not surprising with the way Allison puts everything out on the table - most notably her big heart and her incredible talent. |
