Euclid Kids Wow Audience With Their Talents

From the first act to the very last, students put on an unforgettable night of performances for their moms and dads, showing all that they 'got talent.'

About 50 students from the fourth and fifth grade participated in the annual talent show Thursday night, which was held in the auditorium.

Students danced and sang along to some of today’s greatest hits, and some oldies too. Of course there was magic. Even a game show. Some comedy too.

Just like a real theater, posters for all the acts lined the auditorium.

Students took turns introducing their fellow classmates before each performance. Several kids performed in groups, like Olivia and Alexa Marinelli, who danced to LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem. Erin Bischoff and Chelsea Peralta were a singing duo, followed by dancers Erin Owens, Julia Campen, Lauren Azer as The Mall Girls.

Jacob D’Innocenzi wowed the audience with his magic tricks. Melissa Almonte, Janeth Fermin and Krutika Thakkar performed a dance number as The Jersey Girls. Ronnye Hurado showed off his fancy footwork as he did his solo dance routine. Emily Gjeli and Briana Galofre danced as The Shake It Up Girls. Singers Roberta LaBarbera and Isabel Ruiz performed together.

Sean Roche, Damian Summers and Indy Stone dressed up like LMFAO to put on an exciting performance to the group’s very famous hit “Sexy and I Know It.”

Connolly, Marc Pagan, Jeremy Bailey, Zachary Bailey, Nicholas Cali and Kevin Manero put on a very funny comedic dance routine called “Dance Shorts.”  The audience laughed as the ‘short dancers’ moved to a medley of songs including the Rocky theme song.

Natassja Singh sang a Bruno Mars hit while Mia Minichiello,  Julia Koukoutsis, Christina Todd, Kristen Auriemma and Alex Daus did it up 80s style dancing to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cindy Lauper. Devin Metz, Matteo Ochoa, Sean Duffy, William Koukoutsis and Michael Robertson sported oversized yellow sweatshirts and dollar sign bling as they danced, flipped and breakdanced on the stage.

Marlin Marquez hosted a game show which attracted many volunteers eager to jump on stage and take part. Victoria Bevacqua and Natalia Facchini danced and dazzled as the Glitter  Girls. They were followed by Nicholas Zarrillo who brought back the Moon Walk with Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.”

Amanda Gasparino, Valeria Bejarano, Mackenzie Balcer and Katelyn Scannell put on a dance performance as The Glamour Girls. Kyree Roper sang and danced to “Beautiful People” by Chris Brown.

The final performance paid tribute to the evolution of music including everything from Elvis Presley to the Village People all the way to current artists like Beyonce and N’Sync as a group of boys and girls danced and shook to the hits from all the eras. The dancers were Christopher Thibault, Ian Rinke, James Frazee, Frank Battaglia, Zachary Hauptman, Courtney Summers, Kelly Innis, Madison Palladino, Kimmy Halpin and Kylie Irizarry.

Students who took part in the stage crew were Nicholas Cupo, Olivia Licini, Serena Torres, Isabella Foley and Anthony Marino.
