Huntingdon Singing Duo Earns Second Place at Beta Nationals
From the Aug 5, 2025 e-Edition
ORLANDO (June 22-26) — Two Huntingdon High School Beta Club members wowed audiences at the National Beta Convention to earn second place in Performing Arts: Solo/Duo/Trio Vocal Performance.
Tylan Johnson, a 2025 HHS graduate, and Claudia Cooper, current HHS student, earned a spot in nationals competition with a second place finish at the state convention earlier this year.
The duo performed “You are the Reason” by Calum Scott and Leona Lewis in their finalist performance at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center.
The overwhelming response has led the pair to continue singing together. Their music can be found on Facebook (Tylan Johnson and Claudia Cooper) and Tik Tok (t_c.music). Their first Tik Tok performance, “Don’t Mind if I Do” by Riley Green and Ella Langley had over 115,000 views as of Monday, August 4.
