Yesterday morning, February 21st, Hinckley Finlayson High School hosted its 5th annual snow week talent show. The turnout this year was the best it’s ever been with fourteen acts that kept the audience either laughing or singing along. With everything from rapping to piano playing, the show was a great success. Dion Bearstail kicked things off with a very philosophical story that hooked the audience right from the first word. Followed by this mystical story was Mark Lucht who sang his rendition of “Lost Boy.” His unique deep voice rang through the audience offering a good change of pace to the well-known Ruth B. song. Next up was senior Cheyanne Blodgett, who gave her “last dance” (credit to Frau Hodena for that joke, and many more). Cheyanne gave it her all and danced her heart out to “Work of Art.” Next up, Delaney Olson singing “Love on the Brain.” Her performance was powerful and full of emotion. Then, singing a Nickelback classic, Trinity Blakely got up on stage full of confidence and sang “How You Remind Me.” After this, Eliza Gildner came back for her last ever high school talent show to sing “Castle” by Halsey. Her performance was strong as the crowd will miss her next year. At about the halfway through the talent show, the audience was introduced to the up and coming poets; King Fox and Funky Bunch. They began with a warmup, to which they transitioned into upbeat beatboxing by Howie Hodena, Jacob Barstad and Kolby Fox with Anders Prater belting out a remix from none other “There’s a Wocket in My Pocket” originally done by Dr. Seuss. They had the audience on the edge of their seats with every verse. To follow up this performance was Harlee Anderson singing a very emotion “Quarterback,” which rang throughout the theater and clung to our ears. Singing a similarly paced song was Joanna Hendry singing “The House That Built Me.” She began quite nervous but after a few lines in, she shed her nerves and the audience was struck with her gossamer voice. Then Dayshaun Colsrud got on stage to rap his very own freestyle which was nothing short of the original. After this Senior, Adam Bridenstine and Eli Curry came out and tried to sing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” After several verses, however, they lost their place but the audience was nevertheless very entertained. To conclude the talent show was Mr. LaFond on the piano singing along to “Piano Man,” then Trinity and Cheyanne singing a duet of the song “Human,” which was concluded by Mr. Richter singing his signature song about the art room and having fun at school. Overall, the talent show was a success with 14 acts and was enjoyed by everyone. We look forward to next year’s talent show and the variety it will bring.
