Hello, I’m Maribel and I’m so excited to be working with Georgina Farlow as one of her crew members. Lights and sound fascinate me, but the real reason I took this job is to see these amazing young artists from Camp Rock and Camp Star come to life on stage. I’m secretly cheering for Camp Rock, sorry I love Barron’s new album and can’t wait to see that young artist shine on stage. Oh also Connect Three, Nate, yep, love him too. Don’t worry we, Georgina’s crew, will make sure each camp gets equal time for the viewers to decide on the final vote of which camp wins. See you in August for the Camp Showdown, oh, and come say hi to me during intermission when I take a quick break
