Emma Proctor is a junior in Profe McManus ' Spanish 4 Honors / Pre-AP class at Bellefonte Area High School . She was 1 of only 17 students worldwide to predict a perfect bracket in a Spanish music event known as Locotubre ! This is an incredible feat .
Locotubre involves thousands of Spanish students around the world that vote in a single elimination music bracket , beginning in October and ending in November . This year ' s theme for all the songs was different genres of Spanish music .
Before the competition began , students in Spanish classes at the high school level previewed songs and made prediction brackets . A Spanish teacher from Michigan , Señor Ashby , organizes this competition annually , along with Locura de Marzo in March . He has become somewhat of a celebrity , and the pool of participants around the world continues to grow exponentially every year . To prepare for the competition , students in the Spanish classes listened to songs - learned about them , the artists , lyrics , and accompanying dances - and wrote / spoke Spanish to discuss their thoughts and opinions about the songs .
When asked how she picked her song choices , Emma responded with , “ I guess I had luck picking out the songs ! When I was picking out the songs , I picked the ones that had the best vibe !"
Emma received an Amazon gift card from Señor Ashby himself for having a perfect bracket . Emma is the very first Bellefonte Area High School student to predict a perfect bracket for Locotubre !
