It ' s Showtime Having a special talent is one thing, but being able to display that talent in front of the entire school is another. It takes guts to do something in front of all your friends. To have all of the pressure and worries that you might make a mistake can really make somebody think twice before appearing live in front of an audi- ence. I wasn ' t really nervous to dance in front of every- one because I have been in dance school for many years, Kelli Riggle said. The Poteet choir spon- sored the talent show on May 18 in the school gym. Each of the contestants were selected by mem- bers of the choir and PHS teachers two weeks be- fore the show opened. Talent came from many different areas. Singers, dancers and bands played to entertain parents and students. The talent show was a great way to get everyone together, and an exciting way to end the school year with families and friends. (Ericka Wells) The choir sings Whitney Hous- ton ' s hit I Want to Dance With Somebody. The group spon- sored the talent show. l nether performer of the show, Reggie Jackson dances for the audience. Reggie did a lip-sync to the popular song Rescue Me, by Al B. Sure! t ust having a good time is what it ' s all about. Hal Samples dis- played this attitude during his guitar strumming and singing of Grandma ' s Song as h( clapped and encouraged audi ence participation.
