Joanis is a 19-year-old from Portsmouth, NH currently in her sophomore year studying acting at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. She's had the honor of singing for the Bruins every season since she was 11 years old.
With the retirement of Garden legend, Rene Rancourt, at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, the Boston Bruins held live auditions on August 8 to find a rotating group of singers who would perform the anthem at home games during the 2018-19 season. Out of more than 600 applications, 52 finalists were chosen to partake in the live auditions. Joanis is the 16th out of that group of finalists to be selected to perform this season, following Todd Angilly, Shanna Jackman, Dayna Fisk, Michelle Brooks-Thompson, Kara McEachern, Nick Page, Sarah Kostecki, Vanessa Salvucci, David Tyler, Kamryn Richard, Paige Vigneron, Nicole Talbot, Whitney Doucet, Oladunni Oladipo and Brenda Lau. Information on future new anthem performers will be announced prior to each Boston Bruins home game.
