Raquel Trinidad and Shevonne Philidor may not be household names…yet, but the pair have fans in their hometown of Tampa and those fans will be watching American Idol closely, cheering for the hometown favorites.

Philidor graduated from in 2009 from Blake High School, recognized in the theater department while Trinidad played trumpet in the Alonso High School marching band.

“The judges were so into it,” Trinidad said, quote in a new post by the TB Times about getting the audition. “They loved it. Katy Perry told me I could win the entire competition.”

“It’s changing my life because it’s making me change my mindset, and it’s making me practice all the time,” she said. “When I came back, I was like, Wow, I’m realizing that I’m going somewhere every single day.”

Philidor, on the other hand, received her ticket to the top 40 March 24, but fans haven’t watched her singing this season…yet. Well, stay tuned Idol fans, Tampa knows you’ll be happy.
