Variety night was a crowd pleaser (photos & videos)
By Joan Janzen
There was a huge array of entertainment at the Variety Night Talent Show at Kindersley Composite School (KCS) on Wednesday evening, May 24th. Students from KCS and Elizabeth Middle Schools wowed the audience with their talent and enthusiasm. And staff members were a shining example to their students as they strutted their stuff, joining in the effort to raise funds for the Interact Club of Kindersley.

The Monday Night Book Club ushered in the evening with four talented staff members performing one of two dance routines. Original modes of entertainment included a sparkling flame display lighting up the stage, which a boy seated next to me described as “the coolest!”
But there was much more, including an interpretive dance selection, an off-stage choreographed roller blade routine, and a young man who tried his hand performing magic card tricks. Later, a young lady conducted a Q&A with the crowd about fashion, while another student showed their short, but well-done video animation.
More staff members wowed the crowd with Angy and the Backups’ top-notch display of talent. KCS students didn’t disappoint either, presenting various solo and instrumentals, and the KCS Jazz Band was excellent, as usual.
Several students from Elizabeth Middle School entertained with solo vocal and instrumental performances that captivated the audience. The MC aptly summed up a performance by Bennett Haubrich, when she said, “I think we can all agree that was amazing!” And it was.
Two numbers executed by the Monday Night Jammers were definitely crowd pleasers. It was so encouraging to see the band of multi-generational artists make beautiful music together.
Overall, the twenty-five performances did not disappoint, but the audience also exhibited an impressive response. Throughout the evening, dozens of flashlights waved throughout the crowd, inspiring students and staff to do their best. And when they were done, the boisterous cheering from the audience was nothing short of impressive.
Once again, the Variety Night Talent Show proved to all ... you just never know what talent lies in the classrooms. Thanks for sharing it.
