"It was actually pretty good. I got all the words correct," Adam said. "Some of them were like hard, like nagged-like, but I got it right."
Another participant shared the nerve-wracking nature of the competition.
"You don't know when you're gonna get out so it's scary. You could be the first or you could be the last, so that's what's nerve wracking to me," said Andrew.
Luckily, Andrew had nothing to worry about as one of the evening's winners.
After the bee, the competitors and neighbors enjoyed a free screening of Sing 2, making it a complete community celebration.
