MOSSBANK — Mossbank has talented youth. Several groups of students and some individual students spent considerable time practising their abilities. The school decided to showcase those skills as well as those students and put together a talent show. A date was chosen and programs were printed.
Thursday, May 29, at 7 p.m., the curtains went up on the first act. Over the course of the next hour, those heavy drapes rose 13 more times. The audience was wowed repeatedly as each child or children, youth or teenagers gave all they had and made their relatives proud as punch. Dancers, gymnasts, singers and musicians shared what they can do.
Peyton Peterson and Will Sullivan were the MCs for the evening as well as performers later on the night’s schedule. They praised each act as they were being introduced. Effort and careful planning went into all those introductions. Their positive words and genuine pride in their fellow students lent a noticeable upbeat flair to the event.
The evening started with some comical circus acrobatics. Cathy Singbeil’s kindergarten/Grade 2 class recited a poem with some acting included. Following that were Alexis as a solo as well as Ivy, Zoe and Sam in their dance routines. Next were Addison, followed by Lucy, each playing the piano.
More dancing came with the group of Tessa, Kynlee, Katie and Avery, then a solo dance featuring Presley. Singing was on the list as Alexander took the stage. Gymnastics was Emily’s act. Keagan sang, which he accompanied with his guitar.
Addison and Lucy came back to the piano, but as a duet. Dasha, Tania, Emma, Laurel, Hayley, Tylar and Estela sang a group number. Payten switched roles and played his guitar, which he accompanied with singing.
Will continued his comedic comments with a full routine to round out the night.
Approximately 150 spectators enjoyed the show. If you weren’t in the house you really missed out.
