Gong Hits It wasn’t too long ago that the irreverent, and sometimes objec- tionalble, ‘‘Gong Show’’ graced the airwaves in Richmond. The show featured amateur talent that was judged by a panel of ce- lebrity judges. On January 14th, the MHS Hon- or Guard Drill Team presented a ‘Midlothian Gong Show” with emcee Jeff Connors and ‘‘celeb- rity’’ judges Mr. Hale, Mr. Olsen, and Mr. Dixon. The acts ranged from serious singing to insane ka- zoo-dancing. Three acts were gonged: the “Stumpie Stompers” dancing to “Boogie Shoes,’’ the Unknown Abominable Kazoo Players, and the Obnoxious Animal Band. Four acts received eight points each: the pom-pom squad, shaking to the Knack’s ‘‘My Sharona’’; LeeAnn Sizer’s rendi- tion of Edith Ann; Julie Duffield’s baton twirling to ‘‘Skatetown U.S.A.’’; and Kyle Bowles and the “Once-a-Month Nature Boys” original hit, ‘‘The Ballad of Todd Farmer.” Two acts tied for first place with ten points each: guys dressed as ‘‘Luscious Lovelies”’ singing the HeeHaw hit, ‘‘When Will | Be Loved?” and Liz Hod- der’s ‘‘The Rose.”’ The informal, tacky, and some- times tasteless performances created a hilarity always wel- comed, seldom seen, at Midloth- ian.
