If you didn’t make your way to the Third Annual Hillcrest Talent show, sponsored the Pom Pon squad, you sure missed out! The night was filled with an array of performances from different cultures, styles and sounds. The Commons was packed with lively students, fans and family. The judges used score sheets which ranked each performer’s originality, stage presence, crowd involvement and overall talent. At the end of the night, the judge’s tallies were counted and the top performers were announced. First Place went to Jesse Craig, who performed a traditional love song “Take Me or Leave Me,” from the Broadway production of Rent. “I was so excited to be recognized for my talent,” said Jesse.
The Second Place winner was Maurice Edmonson, who sang a song by Sam Smith. The rest of the night’s acts ranged from Christian siing, rapping, and duets, all the way to “robot” dancing. Between performances, Teria Halsell entertained the audience with her humorous comments and antidotes on each performance. The Talent Show Committee enjoys putting their efforts into the show every year to give students the opportunity to showcase their talent.
