Crowther students show off their talent

Times Reporter

 

The fifth annual Crowther’s Got Talent took place on April 14. Previously the school had done Crowther’s Idol for approximately three years, and wanted to open it up to allow more talent to come in. That was when Crowther’s Got Talent was born.  

“Since then it has worked out really well, and every year it seems like they practice more to get better for the show,” said Terry Motley, organizer and CMJH English teacher. 

“It seems to be a popular thing, we always sell out, and all the money will go to the Wheatland Food Bank.”

Over the last two years, the funds raised through the talent show have been donated to the Wheatland Food Bank. There were 150 tickets printed and it sold out quickly. Out of the 33 people who signed up to audition, only 25 did audition, and from there, 11 were picked to perform. 

The top three winners all received gift certificates for varying amounts. Sho Blunderfield won first place, Ben Scott, Carter Hill and Cyrus Fiori took second place, and Lane Anderson won third. 

“It’s actually kind of what I thought might happen,” said Motley, after the show.

The talent show is run through the leadership program, which Motley is in charge of. Students in leadership helped run, and set up, everything for the show and were also the judges.
