A few hours before Massapequa Park’s Jesse Findling was to appear before an audience of millions on “American Idol,” he appeared, in the flesh, before an audience of 200 at Massapequa High School, his alma mater. Findling, 20, wore blue jeans and sneakers and beamed at the audience, which included older students he’d shared the stage with in high school musicals, younger ones who’d seen him only on TV, and teachers who remembered him as a kid. More details on his journey are at the link in bio. - - #longislandny #nassaucountyny #massapequaparkny #americanidol #massapequa
