Cultural Event # 2: Talent Show

For my second cultural arts component i went to the talent show. The talent show was full of surprises because the first few acts had something to do with their musical talent. First, a boy band went on first performing a rock song using their own musical talented instruments including a guitar and drums. a few minutes later a senior i know went on and performed a type of dance, which she did this dance last year and though sheb didn't win last year and still didn't win this year again. In between performances Mrs. Mcfadden had students dress and act as musical celebrities for either an act or introduce the next act. The last 2 performances dealt with dancing (latest dancing styles) and an R&B group. The dancing group consisted of all girls while the R&B group consisted of all boys. The boys came in 1st place, but the girls didn't even make the top 3.
The talent show had many flaws that i didn't like: First, where the location was which was inside the gym. The gym was not even big enough to support all the students that were present. The gym was so crowded that 1/4 of the majority had to sit on that dirty floor. Secondly, it was hard hearing what some people had to say or were saying at the time, it made the students look bad because they were either giving away positive or negative effects. The students were too close to the microphone and they weren't talking or singing loud enough.
the fact that there was the students acting like celebrities was already enough criticism because some kids i knew did look like who they were acting like, but that was a waste of time knowing we were on a timed schedule. we didn't have time to see who won until the following monday. Knowing there was going to be a lot of students, there could have been a fight, which is why i don't like big events especially in this school, because there was a fight at the last big event we had.
