Showing off talent at Crestline

Approximately 100 fifth and sixth graders from Crestline Elementary recently shared their abilities with classmates by performing in the talent show. Students entertained the crowd with musical numbers, skits and dances. In addition to singing, some participants played instruments including guitar, drums, piano and clarinet. A wide variety of dances charmed the audience, ranging from jazz to tap  to gymnastics. Several glow-in-the-dark numbers, a basketball routine and hula hoop routines were also crowd-pleasers.

This annual event is organized by music teachers Laura Butler and Janet Nelson, but the show is kid-driven. They prepare their own acts, and students are in charge of stage and tech crew. This year’s talent show was a huge success due to hard work and team effort by everyone involved.
