Andy Cervelli is a senior and has landed one of the lead roles in the high school musical How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.  Andy is playing the role of J.B. Biggley.  Biggley is the president of Worldwide Wicket company who hires the protagonist J. Pierrepont Finch.  
The musical is the story of an ambitious young window washer named J. Pierrepont Finch who climbs the ladder of success rather quickly in a big time company. On his way up, he finds love and friendship in a lot of different ways and places.  
Andy says "Drama helps you step out of your comfort zone and allows you to work and meet with others you might not always get to see."  Andy also said having the knowledge of the process it takes to put on a play and the want to be a part of it, helped him get his part in the play.  
Along with being involved in the play Andy is an honors student who takes AP courses and has a 4.0 GPA.  He is also a member National Honors Society and the Tri-M Music Society.  At MHS, Andy participates in jazz, concert, and marching band.  He enjoys spending his free time time volunteering.  
Victoria Tromba says "Andy is such a character!  He never fails to become the part he plays.  Andy has a voice that  is very strong and leading in musical numbers.  There isn't is a time when he's not smiling or jumping around and having fun."  
Andy says the highlight of his high school career is performing in the halftime shows at the football games in the marching band. He says "The best feeling is the rush you get right before you go out to perform."  
Andy's goals while finishing out his last year of high school are to keep his grades up, stay on track in his classes, and maintain his 4.0 GPA.  After Andy is done with high school he plans to go to college where he intends to get a degree in Art and major in design.  Andy says one of the major reasons he got into art is because his father is into art and his grandfather was a freelance artist.  
According to Andy, the best part of the play is the feeling you get after you finish performing and hear the audience applaud.  While Andy has a lot on his plate with all his extra curricular activities, in the end, even the best of talents enjoy rest.
