Talent Show

My Fall talent show was a huge success! I had no idea that we would have such a great turn out of talent or audience. I believe we raised about $700 which will be split between the Yearbook club and Drama club.

Whatever Winsted lacks, they always turn out an enthusiastic crowd of supporters. Everyone was clapping and cheering and getting into it. It made my talent feel good--everyone just fed off of one another. All in all a super fun, relaxing evening.

The seniors had a concession stand-let me tell you, if you are ever at a loss for a bake sale item, grab a box of Ho-hos! I have never seen a crowd descend on a plate of goodies like that before!!!

I had 15 acts of singers, dancers, piano players and actors. One of the highlights was a faculty/student act performing Abbot and Costello's "Who's on First". I think most people were in tears! Especially when the teacher chased the student off stage with a baseball bat.

My Fall drama group wrapped up the evening with a fabulous performance--I will put the YouTube link here, but if it is fussy, go to YouTube and search for "The Emperor's New Hair" posted by mboucher on 11/16. It isn't quite the whole play, but this parent grabbed most of it for us. I was very proud of them, and sad to see the group come to it's end.

That's ok...because the kick off for the Spring musical starts right after Thanksgiving!!!! Yay!
