Rischard Brown and Christian Holloman took home $500 after winning the
finale of FMU’s Got Talent on Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. in the Performing Arts
Center.
“I feel great,” Brown said. “This was an amazing opportunity. I’m just glad
we were all able to showcase our talent. We were really just trying to find
something that we could use to encourage somebody to just have fun and
do something different every time.”
“Tonight was a great experience,” Holloman said. “It is hard to state how I
feel about it now, but when I look back on it, it was a great night.”
FMU’s Campus Activities Board (CAB) hosted the event. Caroline Shelley,
the executive chair of CAB, said she was pleased with how FMU’s Got
Talent has gone.
“I thought tonight was a great success,” Shelley said. “Everything went well
and I am extremely proud of all of our contestants.”
Shelley also explained how the finale of the series compared to the other
three rounds.
