The Finalists have some fun hanging by the studio equipment as they celebrate their victory to the finals. Each got to experience the recording studio and learn the ropes of the professionals.
The 2012 Finalist CD.
Every year, the finalists get the chance to record a song for a compilation CD. For many of them, it is their first time inside a recording studio. This year, the recording sessions took place at Harris Institute.
Each finalist sang the 2 songs they will be performing at the final. Only one of the songs will be used on the CD but at the final, both songs will be used to recap the performances just before voting begins.

2012 Audio Recap
Everyone at Harris was very impressed by the level of talent the Finalists presented. Many thanks to the people at Harris including John Harris and the students we
worked with, Jesse Roland Allan and Hussain Dossa. We really appreciate their professionalism and the respect they showed each and every one of us.
Although the main purpose of the compilation CD, is to serve as a souvenir for the finalists of their time with the contest, this year the CD will be given to the Canadian Cancer Society as a fund-raising tool.
Anyone attending the final who makes a minimum donation of $20 to this wellestablished, well-deserving charity will receive a CD autographed by the 10 Finalists.

Of all the deserving charities out their why the Canadian Cancer society? In February 2011, John
lost his father, Manuel Santos to cancer. This past summer, we lost a friend to the contest and friend to
the country in Jack Layton. And this winter, a supporter of the contest since season 1 and the mother of our dear friend Melanie Camara, Lurdes Teixeira, lost her battle as well. April is also Cancer Awareness Month so the choice was obvious.
