Talent Galore ingers, dancers and other talent- ed students, as well as hams, entertained all at the 1984 Tal- ent Show. The audience was de- lighted with the many romantic songs and the fast-paced dancing, but the audito- rium was filled with laughter during the comedy-dance routine of Lisa Harrison and Amy Poppell. As Lisa danced across the stage to ‘‘Somebody’s Watching Me’”’ Amy followed in a chicken suit, mimicking her movements. The suspense during the night hap- pened when the judges decided the win- ners. The decision called for careful thought on the part of the judges. To the delight of the audience, the extremely tal- ented band composed of Kathryn Ste- phens, John Gottschalk, Brian Braswell, and Todd Mobley won first place. Their fast-paced p op songs kept the audience rocking in their seats. The beautiful voice of Diana Pace earned her second place and the Break-dancing team ‘‘knocked’”’ in at third. The evening was successful because of the talent and bravery of the contes- tants. Each worthy of a ribbon, the acts showed originality and the style of professionals. Breaking to the beat, the Bermuda Breakers executed the newest break dancing moves at the Talent Show. Kathryn Stephens, John Gottschalk, Todd Mob- ley, and Brian Braswell excite the audience with a 1 performance. 14 Talent Show
