Fifteen Mundelein High School seniors have been selected to compete for the annual title of “Mr. Mustang.” They will participate in a public competition event Friday, Feb. 24 beginning at 7 p.m. in the MHS Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students, seniors and children. All proceeds will cover the Senior Class of 2017 Graduation Party.
The theme for the evening will be Mr. Mustang 2017: Winter Wonderland. The emcees, chosen by their peers, are Luke Loding and David West.
The senior girls voted earlier to choose senior guys to vie for the title. Those who made the cut then auditioned for members of the Mundelein Parent Group who sponsor the event. After auditions, the number was cut to 15.
The evening competition will include modeling formalwear, group and individual talent performances, speeches written by the contestants to their parents and questions for the finalists to answer. The 15 will be cut to five before additional questioning and then Mr. Mustang and two runners-up will be announced. A panel of judges will do the balloting.
This year’s contestants include: Jake Antenore, Brendan Callas, Jimmy Corbin, Chinedu Ebube, Jonah Emil, Sam Eugenis, Linden Ewing, Thomas Ferro, Stephan Hatchett, Kyle Klauss, Justin Lawrence, Ryan Magee, Nick Oleinik, Ryan Scott and Mitchell Zaprzalka.
