On April 16, 2010, in the Steve Primis Auditorium, everyone was so eager to hear the performers, that the packed auditorium had people sitting in the aisles.

The first performer was Phillip Cote, singing “Mr. Brightside”. The crowd clapped ecstatically. Despite some nervousness, he did an exceptional job.

Between performances, the MCs passed out the door prizes. MCs for the night were: Hannah Claugus, Colton Fullmer, Sullivan Gilley, Angela Hartford, Joe Ives, Katie Holmes, Kelsey Johnson, Alex Pasinskis, Alyssa Rochon, Caulin Shattuck and Amber VanRyn.

Jordan Fullmer wowed the crowd with her powerful, spiritual piece, which involved dancing to “The Call”. The crowd was very moved.

Ben Perrell, singing “Single Ladies” by Beyonce, was one that the crowd loved. He was definitely a crowd favorite, getting people to sing along with him. He did an awesome job raising the audience’s spirits.

There was one act through the night that got the crowd buzzing even after the talent show was over. Jeffery Nix and Cody Klepzig stunned the crowd with their dance to “Low” by Flo Rida. It was a dance to remember.

MC Caulin Shattuck touchingly introduced his friend Jarom Christensen to the floor. For anyone unaware, Jarom is a piano player and one that will stun anyone that listens to him play. He impressed the crowd by playing his “Piano Extravaganza”.

Juniors Koren and Gavin Parsons entered the Talent Show for the third time singing “I Feel It in my Bones.”

Congratulations to all the winners. One particularly impressive award was given to Jarom Christensen and Katie Jan for People’s Choice Award with their swing dance.

The Talent Show was a success. Like usual, the turnout was great, and the talents showcased were spectacular. Of course, the show would not have been a success without all those in attendance, but especially the crew and show director Chris Rees.
