"Incredible:" Local school teacher wins trip to the Grammys

BEAVER DAM, Wis. (CBS 58) -- One lucky school teacher from Beaver Dam won the experience of a lifetime.

Gerryanne Schwanke and her sister-in-law Kristen had the chance to see the Grammy Awards in person.

They were flown to New York, received a hotel stay and a day of pampering which included hair and makeup.

They were also invited to the Mastercard pre-party at the Plaza Hotel.

Schwanke calls the experience surreal.

"When the show started and all of a sudden you could see everybody and they came out and started announcing things and all of a sudden, you saw Lady Gaga get up on that stage in the middle and I was like oh my gosh she is like right there so just being so close to that was incredible," Gerryanne Schwanke said.

Gerryanne says Pink was her favorite performance.
