“This is a very big accomplishment for me, and I couldn’t be more ecstatic,” Copado said in press materials from the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District. “I had seen a post on Instagram about how spots were open for local singers, and I decided that it would be a great opportunity for me to audition. So, I sent a video.”

Copado recently played the role of Danny Zuko in a local production of Grease, which featured students from Pioneer Valley High School, Ernest Righetti High School, and Santa Maria High School.
