KCS students and staff showcase their talent

KINDERSLEY - Once again, the students and staff at Kindersley Composite School (KCS) did a great job of entertaining their audience at the 4th Annual Variety Night Talent Show on Tuesday, May 27th. Not only was it entertaining, but it also helped provide funds for the upcoming camping trip planned for the Grade 9 class. There were plenty of silent auction items, which added to the fundraising fun, as well as snacks provided during intermission.

Many of the students have known each other since they can remember, and now they enjoy dancing, singing, joining together in the jazz band, or making music together in their individual bands. Other students performed solos on the saxophone, xylophone or in song.

However, the students weren’t the only entertainers to grace the stage; the staff also made their talents known to the audience. Some staff members joined the Monday Night Book Club’s high-energy jazz dance or performed as a solo act, while others performed duets.

The evening concluded with all the entertainers joining the jazz band to sing “Wagon Wheel.” And if student audience enthusiasm was awarded a prize, the KCS students would win every time, as they cheered on their peers.
