Talent Show Cancelled
Students and staff were preparing to host the annual talent show, which was scheduled to take place February 20th. Due to a lack of auditions, the talent show was cancelled.
There were five auditions for the talent show, four of which were actually approved, but this did not meet the minimum of 15 performances needed to have the show.
“There won’t be a talent show this year, but we will hopefully be back next year,” Kyle Loudis said.
Loudis is a communications arts teacher, and teaches broadcast journalism. He has been teaching for 15 years. In those 15 years he has never had this happen before, but he is still positive about the upcoming years.
“I hope it will be different next year, and we will have a rocking show,” Loudis said.
