Most people would be terrified performing in front of 8,000 people, but for freshman Annie Mae Weiss it’s no big deal. Weiss has been singing since she was six, and has even recorded songs in a studio.
Weiss is looking forward to singing in a charity show that her dad, renowned skater Michael Weiss, will be hosting in Atlantic City. The show will air on Nov. 18 from 4 to 6 pm on NBC. Her father will perform an ice skating routine while she sings “Don’t You Remember” by Adele.
“I’m very excited because I have a chance to become famous,” said Weiss. To prepare, she has been practicing extremely hard and attending private voice lessons once a week.
Weiss is happy to be sharing the spotlight with her dad, and is looking forward to performing. “It will be weird seeing myself on T.V.,” she said.
Many people are rooting for Annie and looking forward to seeing her on television. “I think she’s pretty cool, and I’m proud of her,” said freshman Mollie Schulman.
