A total of 15 acts performed, entertaining the audience with everything from a jazz quartet to a medley of classical ballet pieces. Mr. Green was the oh-so-funny emcee who kept the show going throughout the night with his Rev Carrick impersonation; he also incited a surprise sea shanty performance. Other highlights include Ms. T\u2019s unforgettable dance moves during Victoria Morrison&#8217;s rendition of \u201cI Will Survive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, perhaps the most special part of the talent show this year was the fundraiser run by students before, during, and after the show. When students found out a few weeks back that Theresa Mitten lost her home in a devastating fire, many wanted to do something to help. Molly Leahy \u201819 came up with the idea of an art show to raise money for Theresa\u2019s family. Students took this idea and ran with it. There were generous donations of pottery, paintings, greeting cards and more. Also, during the show, students from the AP studio class did caricatures and figure drawings for a small fee. With the profits from the sale and all the donations received, a total of over 1,200 dollars was raised for the Mitten family. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of this successful night, the panel of judges (Mrs. Lew, Mrs. Rickrode, and Mr. Rea) decided on four winners. Paige Allen \u201817 won the award for \u201cBest Non-Musical Performance\u201d with her comical monologues. Richard Kraus \u201818 and James Hughes \u201818 won \u201cMost Entertaining\u201d for their performance of \u201cThe Suit Song\u201d from the hit TV series \u201cHow I Met Your Mother.\u201d Dominick D\u2019Alessandro \u201817 received the award for \u201cBest Musical Performance\u201d with a piano piece by Chopin, and Ariana Notartomaso \u201816 won \u201cBest Vocal Performance.\u201d All in all, it was a great night for the community: everyone involved deserves another round of applause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Elizabeth Abraham\u00a0&#8217;17 The annual talent show, which took place on Friday, April 15th, was a huge success this year.
