Tyler Fleagle or Willie Robertson? With his camouflage, hat, fake hunting attire, and beard, the Linganore audience almost couldn’t tell who was who.

Fleagle was accompanied by Wade Steiren, Matt Knowlden, Noll Steiren, Nathaniel Musselman, Jack Staub, and Elizabeth Coletti, who all dressed as the Duck Dynasty cast. They handed out rubber ducks, duck noise makers, and pretended to shoot ducks onstage. His clever entrance won first place.

Fleagle was escorted by senior Elizabeth Coletti.

“I knew she would be really good at helping with everything,” Fleagle said about Coletti.

“I was really nervous, but once I was out on the stage I was fine,” said Fleagle.

During his talent portion, he, Steiren, and Staub, created an optical illusion, making them look like tiny dancers. They danced to songs like Lip Gloss by Lil Kim and Happy by Pharrell, among others.

Fleagle also appeared in Chris Brown’s talent, The Office wedding scene skit as Kevin, sporting tissue box shoes as Kevin does in the episode.

Fleagle said, “The entire competition was fun, and I’d do it again if I could.”
