The 18th Annual Mr. Linganore contest “It’s a Royal Affair” will be on March 4 at 7:00 p.m. Lancer Media is covering each of the contestants leading up to the big day.

One of the 12 contestants for the crown, Andrew Livioco is going to be portraying Prince Eric from the Disney movie The Little Mermaid.  He will be escorted by Emily Barbagallo.

“I wanted to be Prince Eric because he loves animals, is courageous, and is very determined person,” said Livioco.

His favorite part of the competition has been learning the choreography for each dance, but he believes the hardest part of the competition will be competing against the other contestants.

Livioco has seen other Mr. Linganore competitions and believes that this gives him an edge over the other contestants because he knows what to expect during the competition.

He is most excited about the talent part of the competition. “I have experience performing in front of others and I believe this will help me win,” said Livioco.

Livioco is a member of the Drama Honor Society.

He plans to study mechanical engineering at the State University of New York Polytechnic.
