Chaminade College Preparatory is thrilled to celebrate two of our talented students, Chase Teglas and Anorah Permenter, who have been named semifinalists in The Music Center’s 37th Annual Spotlight program.

Chase earned his spot in the Classical Voice category, recognized for his incredible vocal ability and dedication to his craft. Anorah advanced in the Acting category, impressing judges with her ability to bring characters to life.

This year’s competition was incredibly competitive, with more than 1,600 students from 269 schools, 174 cities, and eight counties across Southern California auditioning for Spotlight. With only 113 students advancing to the semifinals, Chase and Anorah’s recognition is a testament to their talent and hard work.

As semifinalists, they will have the opportunity to participate in mastery classes with industry professionals and receive expert feedback and coaching to further develop their skills before the next round of auditions.

Chaminade’s dedicated teachers play a key role in nurturing students’ talents and passions. Our students are empowered to explore their passions through a supportive and enriching environment. “We are incredibly proud of Chase and Anorah for this outstanding accomplishment,” said High School Principal Luis Guerra. “Their dedication is a true reflection of the Marianist education we embrace at Chaminade—one that nurtures talent, perseverance, and the development of the whole person. We encourage our students to pursue their passions, and we look forward to seeing Chase and Anorah continue to grow through this incredible opportunity.”

Finalists will be announced later this year, and Grand Prize Finalists will take the stage at The Music Center’s Spotlight Grand Finale on June 6, 2025, at the Ahmanson Theatre.
