An unsolicited comment from a patron at the event describes Copeland's performance: "She sang it with dignity and clarity. My wife and I are from the Peoria area and we are high school "basketball junkies". She sang it as it was meant to be. She has an outstanding voice. I wish her well in all her further endeavors."
Well done Mariah - thanks for your dedication to vocal performance excellence, and for representing your school and community in such a musical and dignified manner.
