City officials, businessmen, performers, and music fans gathered at the Peabody Veterans Memorial High School Saturday night for the fifth annual "Dueling Duets: Tanner Style competition."

The events paired “high profilers” in Peabody with performers in a light-hearted musical competition.

This year’s “high profilers” were Higgins Middle School teachers Vincent Raponi and Nicole Kouroubacalis, School Committee members Ed Charest and Tom Rossignoll, Councilor at Large candidate Tom Gould, the Mayor’s Administrative Assistant Mary Bellavance, Executive Director of Travel Leather Michael Orgettas, Marketing and Communtiy Outreach Rep. Michael Wheeler, Men’s Warehouse Manager Larry Levine, New England Meat Market Manager Charlie Silva, Peabody Police Sgt. Sheila McDaid and high school sophomore Andrew Truong.

The event is put on yearly by We Are America, Inc., a local nonprofit whose goal is to establish a performing arts center where residents can participate in the arts. This year's Dueling Duets was dedicated to Mayor Michael Bonfanti, who has been a strong supporter of the organization and is serving his last year in office after he announced in January he would not seek another term.

“Everyone here is family,” said We Are America, Inc. performer Stephanie McCarthy. “This is something I will never forget.”
