There is no question, EHS has talent. Either on the stage, on the field or in the classroom, EHS students will leave you amazed by their talents.
On Feb. 20 some of EHS’s most talented students will take the stage in a night of laughter and amazement for the annual EHS Talent Show hosted by student council.
With acts ranging from magic tricks to singing the talent show showcases the diversity of EHS’s talent, “we try to maintain a balance (between singers and other acts) throughout the show,” senior student council member Isabella Lilly said.
Auditions began Friday and will happen again on Wednesday in the choir room, “the entire council decides collectively,” Lilly said. “All of us watch the auditions and judge.”
As for what they are looking for? “Obviously, we choose based upon talent,” Lilly said. “It’s easier to get your foot in the door if you have a unique talent, like magic or stand-up comedy (to maintain the balance).”
Though the show is a mix of all talents and all grades, upperclassmen do get some priority. “We usually give priority to upperclassmen as well since they have fewer opportunities to be in the show again.”
The talent show is also an effort to give back to the community. Admission is a canned good which is donated to the Glen-Ed food pantry or $2 which is donated to Anderson Hospital.
A highly anticipated event by the student body, there is rarely an empty seat in the auditorium. “I love the talent show,” junior Malarie Thompson said. “It’s a way for some students to show their talents other than singing like magic and other fun things. I look forward to it every year.”
