"This week, we're hitting Hollywood Vibe right here in Northbrook," Abby announced to a chorus of applause from the moms and girls. "I expect nothing less than 100% from everyone, especially since we're on our home turf."

"And you all know the pressure that comes with competing in our hometown, or in Chicago or anywhere in the Chicagoland area." Cosimo chimed in, his voice full of determination. "But we've got this."

"He's right. Our group number, 'Private Eyes,' was Cosimo's brainchild," Abby continued, acknowledging him with a nod as the room filled with approving smiles. "On top of that, we have a trio featuring Paige, Chloe, and Maddie called 'Over and Over.' Kendall, wipe that frown off your face. Chloe, you've got a solo titled 'Please,' and Maddie, yours is 'Every Little Step.' We're taking two champions from Hollywood Vibe, and I expect one of you to bring that title back home again. Understood?"
