Every year the Rebel Review sponsored talent show had its share of rock bands, and the fifth annual contest was no exception. But they weren’t the stiffest competition and cer- tainly not the only competitors to try their talent irr the show. Types of music portrayed varied greatly from Greg Ben- nett’s version of “You Can’t Be a Beacon if your Light don’t Shine,” a country-gospel song, to the “Tourists” successful attempt at a “New Wave” style of “Vacation,” orginally sung by the “GoGo’s.” “The Black Shoes Walkin’ Blues Band” demonstrated still another style of music as they played a group of blues songs including “Hey Bartender.” But when the votes were tallied, the majority fell with a traditional act of a soloist. Ritt Dertz became the most popular act as he sang and played one of his own songs, “Don’t Give In.” This vote proved that those who attended one of the three programs could certainly recognize talent and experience. Ritt participated in music shows similar to this one since elemen- tary school. He also used his musical skill to produce a tape in which he played all the instruments and even harmonized with his own voice. Second runner-up was the only act in which all the members didn’t attend Boone County High. The lead singer for Discovery, Marty Conner, was a senior at Walton Verona High School. The group played two popular songs including “Party Town” by Glen Frey. The members of the 1981-82 talent show winner, “Black Shoes Walkin’’ Blues Band,” made another good showing as they received first runner-up. 18 Talent Show
