Tasha and Britni were two of three people that qualified in their division and Joseph was the only one that qualified for his. They are all looking forward to the upcoming competition and are working hard to get their acts perfect. All three are extremely excited to go to State, but were just as thrilled to find out they received a superior from three different judges. "Just knowing that we were good enough to qualify is just the satisfaction that we needed to keep us on track and motivated," said Oliver. "You just have to go out on stage and give it everything you've got. There is no room for mistakes. Our monologues have to be less than two minutes so you have got to leave a good impression with the judges fast. You have to be able to impress the judges by showing your character and emotions in just seconds," said Newman and Gibbs.
