Jason’s Face Scares Foxworth And Rocha Worse Than Mask Over 200 parents, teachers, and students came to see this special presentation, an hour of Elsik’s best talent. The lights grew dim and the curtain swung open, displaying The Light Band ‘‘We’re not a real band just a group of friends. It gave us a good feeling. We're in Students for Christ because it's neat to be in school and still relate to God. replied Lead Singer Erica Cheng. Six out of the ten acts were dances, three of which were Revellier dances. They also danced with Chris Lundquist in It's Cats. It’s Frightening was the only act without music. It was a skit from a book performed by Tangy Foxworth and Diana Rocha. “I'd wanted to be in the Talent Show since I was a freshman and this was my last year, so why not.” replied Diana. Minutes before the show Chris Lundquist came up to them and asked if they would mind if Jason would take off his mask before they screamed and ran off stage to add a little more to their skit. They agreed and it brought laughs from everyone. For a finale every participant in the Talent Show sang We Are the World. Money from the Talent Show was used as a supplement for the Student Council's expenses. By R.
