LMS Talent Show

What a show of talent!!

I had the great honor and fun of being the Master of Ceremonies at the Lecanto Middle School “A Night of Talent” two weeks ago at the Curtis Peterson Auditorium and Theater.

The LMS student performers were outstanding and several of the performances were of a professional quality.  During the evening we had students playing music on the piano, drums, guitar, and violin.  We had many student singers and a couple of students played instruments for another student that sang.  A few times students played while they, themselves, sang which was a real treat also!

The evening included not only students but a few teachers and staff as well.  The evening began with a “Special” performance by the (mock) rock band, “Pink Panther” with its’ “lip-syncing” mystery performers (LMS teachers).  Later in the show Assistant Principal, Mr. Ryan Selby, and physical education teacher, Mr. Sean Furniss, sang “My Little Buttercup” which included backup student dancers.  Reading teacher, Mrs. Megan Blackstock, and Language Arts teacher, Mrs. Stephanie Hill, along with student Travis, performed a hilarious interpretive dance to the song, “Heaven is a Place on Earth”!  The belly holding laughing performance from staff must go to Mr. Furniss for his impersonations of many of LMS’s staff and administrators. His final impersonation was of Principal Bill Farrell and that one had the whole audience in stitches.

This talent show was not just for LMS students, family members, and LMS students to attend.  It was a show that I feel could have been attended by anyone in our community and would have been enjoyed by all.  I am sure we will someday see many of these students in other successful careers, not necessarily in the performing arts field, but, we just may see or hear one or two of them performing on stage or on the radio as well.

I want to thank Mrs. Joellen Collazo, who directed and produced the evenings’ events and who also is the Chorus and General Music Teacher at LMS.
