Whether they were playing an instrument, yo-yoing or performing stand up comedy, students found a variety of talents to showcase at the third annual talent show.
The show gave an opportunity for both seasoned performers and those with secret talents to share their expertise on stage.
“It’s great!” senior Robbie Culbertson said about the auditioning process. “The auditioning experience for the talent show is equivalent to any out-of-school competition I’ve done.”
Culbertson performed a duet with fellow senior Nikki Pope.
“The entire experience of the talent show is great,” Culbertson said. “I love getting to know the other acts and to perform as well, so winning is like the icing on the top.”
The show was a way for students to convey their talents, especially for those that do not participate in performing arts electives.
“It gives people an opportunity to express a talent they may have that is not a school subject,” said senior Babak Senfi, who shared his talent for Chinese yo-yoing.
Senfi enjoys raising awareness for the sport.
“I feel that people audition at a talent show to express a side of themselves to their peers that they may not have expressed before,” Senfi said.
Other participants, like freshman Holly Waters, took part in the show to improve their talents, and to expose themselves to different performing environments.
Waters sang onstage, a different ambiance than she was used to.
“This seemed like a great opportunity to hopefully get some more performing practice and meet new people with the same passion,” Waters said.
