Jeffrey Berry, a senior of Duncanville High School, competed against nine other contestants in a four state (Ar.,La.,Ok., and Tx.) competition by singing one of his favorite classical vocal songs, “Vaghissima Sembianza” (A charming Resemblance) by composer, Stefano Donaudy.

He electrified the audience with his vocal range and melodies to the delight of judges, family, friends, and the Omega men.

His next musical demonstration will be at the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. International Conclave in Tampa, Florida, on June 29, 2024, beginning at 6:00PM.

Mr. Berry will once again represent the Alpha Iota Iota Graduate Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. located in North Dallas (northdallasques.com).
