FHC’s Got Talent Q&As: Maddy Bachert

Grade: 12

Performance: Bobblemasters

Give an elevator pitch for your performance: 

“It is an act with all senior girls, and it is a surprise, for the most part, but it will for sure be funny.”

What specific qualities make your performance intriguing?

“No one has ever done anything like this at the high school level, and so I just think it’ll be really fun overall for everyone.”

How does your performance reflect you as a person/group?

“It reflects us pretty well, and I think it’s fun to get together as a group, hang out, and practice it.”

Does stage fright impact you at all? 

“Not really. I work well under pressure as an athlete, so I don’t think it’s that bad for me.”

Why did you choose to try out for the talent show? 

“Some of my friends wanted me to do something, and they had this idea [that] sounded really fun and they asked me, so I said ‘Sure,’ and it was a really good decision.”

How long have you been preparing for this? 

“We’ve only practiced a few times, so not terribly long.”

If you could own one pet, any pet, what would it be and why?

“I would have to say a hedgehog because they’re really cute, and I think it’d just be fun to have a hedgehog.”
