Imagine being lifted high into the air on a moving cruise ship, about to sing Adele’s dramatic, Oscar-winning James Bond theme, “Skyfall.” This isn’t a fantasy; it’s exactly what Sydnie Christmas did in a spectacular 2015 performance.

But Sydnie, in stark contrast, brought a different kind of power. She was soaring high above the stage in her huge dress, looking like a total professional. It showed amazing poise and strength, not just in her voice but in her body.
