Talent Show

Last year our school started a new tradition: the talent show.

Last year’s talent show was a great success as students and teachers competed to win cash prizes.  The winner of the talent show last year was Frank Oliver, who gave an outstanding drum performance that wowed the crowd.  This year we are hoping to have the same enthusiasm behind the talent show and hopefully have the same amount of talented people sign up.

In the past there have been some acts in the talent show that were good and also some bad ones. One of my favorite acts featured in the talent show last year was Brian and Jesse’s rendering of "A Whole New World"  from the Disney movie "Aladdin." Although they did not actually sing, the lip sync was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

You can also expect several musical acts, some funny acts such as the reenactment of SNL skits, choreographed dances, and many others. The talent show is an opportunity for people from all areas of the school to come together and show what they are made of. Not only that, but it allows students to sit back, relax and enjoy people and their various talents and quirky abilities. I am not one to offer good advice on performing in the talents show, but I will offer this. If you are performing in the talent show, try not to be the act that everyone is talking about because you are the act that went horribly wrong or was horrendously bad. All you need to do is think before you perform and not the other way around.
