In an intense competition of talent, wit and school spirit, Trenton Parrotte came out on top and was crowned as the 2015 Mr. Blue Pony The Mr. Blue Pony Pageant, organized by Havre High School history teacher indsey McInerney and Student Congress, pitted eight male students against one another in this year's competition. JonGlen Augare, Emilio Bautista, Chris Gabrielsen, Thomas Keith, Trenton Parrotte, Trey Scofield, Dylan Stewart and Ryan Stewart were the competitors who were accepted into the competition based on their applications reviewed anonymously. Parrotte displayed his skill with the xylophone for the talent portion of the competition, and though he was unable to unravel his frozen T-shirt fast enough in the eight-man race in which everyone was given a shirt that was wetted, balled up and frozen, he still reigned supreme in the end. Other talents utilized by Parrotte's competition were a solid rendition of "Silent Night" on the kazoo, a from-scratch rendition of "Counting Stars" on a loop pedal with an acoustic guitar and a slightly creative rendition of the "Pokemon" theme song. After the talent and frozen T-shirt portion of the competition, intermission interrupted, and when the audience was called back, the eight competitors were narrowed down to four. Parrotte, Augare, Keith and Scofield remained on stage for the final portion of the competition: the questions and answers. When asked what the focus would be for his 2016 campaign for office would be, Parrotte sheepishly cast aside his desire for underwater colonies for the more practical push for solar energy. In the end, after he answered his three questions and the three judge's final decision was announced, Parrotte remarked that it felt really good to win. "I'm so excited to be the Mr. Blue Pony," he said. "I worked really hard. The song that I did for my talent; I've been working on it for three months." That song was "Yellow After the Rain," he said. Parrotte said that he was a little nervous, but it was only with his healthy mix of confidence that he was able to succeed in the competition. Next year, in the 2016 Mr. Blue Pony Pageant, he will crown his successor.
