Andrea Melaragno travels from the shores of Lake Erie to the shores of New Jersey, all to follow her favorite music group.

Melaragno’s love for Fifth Harmony was first sparked when they kicked off the Demi Lovato concert last March. Since then the sophomore has proven to be more than an average fan as she personally met up with the group nine times! Melaragno said, “I’ve been to Columbus, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, New Jersey, and New York City.”

Being so committed definitely calls for some sacrifice as it often causes Melaragno to miss school. However, Melaragno said having these experiences under her belt makes it all worth it. “Besides just meeting Fifth Harmony I have also become friends with a lot of other teens who are just like me,” she said.
