Selah Ashbaugh's performance in 2025's Cavalcade of Stars was her first time on stage alone to sing! Selah, 15, is a member of Calvary Baptist Church, works at Kroger and Haunted Hallow, and takes college classes at Cedarville University for dual enrollment. Selah has performed in 4 different choirs and 2 plays, and last year's Murphy Christmas show. Selah is the second oldest of 5 girls and is so grateful for her family's support! 

Jen Binder aka Fart the Clown, has decided to embrace the clown life: bigger expressions, questionable decisions, and absolutely no guarantee that things will go according to plan. She believes every good clown needs three things: commitment, imagination, and the ability to recover gracefully when everything goes spectacularly wrong. Jen is trading her usual theatrical repertoire for something a little more colorful, ridiculous, and—quite possibly—unpredictable. 

enfinite echo is: Haylon Hufford (Drums), age 14, from Wilmington, Matt Bush (Lead Guitar) from Washington Township, and Cody Hufford (Guitar/Vocals) from Wilmington.

Boyd Mann aka DJ FNTSY is a music artist who creates all his music (lyrics and instrumentals) in his home studio. His motto is GGPJ (God Gives Peace and Joy). DJFNTSY's music has themes of struggle, overthinking, hope and victory. Music is his life's calling and he's pursuing it eagerly and pursuing Jesus even more eagerly. GGPJ 

Leonard Hicks is almost 16 years old, and a student at Wilmington High School. He became interested in magic in 7th grade, when his teacher let him play with a deck of cards. He started out with sleight of hand but has since rounded out his repertoire. This is his first public performance, and he's excited to show off his talent en masse for the first time!

Rebecca Lynn is a magician from Xenia, Ohio. She learned her first card trick at age 12 and was instantly hooked. In 2020, Rebecca stepped into a new role as a full-time caregiver for her mother’s muscular dystrophy. Now, this 24 year old self-described “stay-at-home daughter” is ready to step back into the spotlight and rediscover the joy of performing!

Only 17 years old, Owen McDonald channels the energy and spirit of Sir Elton John on vocals and the piano.  From Jamestown Ohio, he's been playing the piano since he was 9. He enjoys spending time with family, friends and his dogs. He would like to be a big artist one day in the music industry!!
