A pre show performance on the basin stage will kick off the event from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Headlining the pre show is American Idol Finalist David Hernandez debuting his new single “Beautiful” and three additional performances by alumni and students of The Met High School: Chachi Carvalho and the International Players, Lexi McKinnon, and Storm.
A solo performance by The Met High School’s own Emeline will signal the start of a 150-torch procession entering the amphitheater in Waterplace Park and ending in a Ring of Fire surrounding the basin. Torches will be carried by guests of The Met High School, representing graduates of each year, as well as mentors, sponsors and supporters that helped The Met High School reach this 20 year milestone.
