If ever there was someone who would be excused for breaking their arm while patting themselves on the back, it would have to be Amissville’s own Samantha Breeden.

This remarkable young singer won first place in the Rappahannock County Bland Contest and on March 20 received second .place honors in the District Bland Contest at Warrenton Middle School. Samantha auditioned in February for Governor’s School with approximately 400 other vocalists.

Thirty were chosen statewide to attend the four week school in July at the University of Richmond which includes several classes and private voice instruction.

Last week, Samantha learned she is one of the 30 talented individuals who was selected. Congratulations, Samantha, and “break a leg”!
