I just got back from the eight-grade talent show, and it was a blast. There was poetry, singing, guitar bass playing, comedy and rapping. Everyone was good but unfortunately only 3 people won. Crystal as first, Jordyn, Kevin, and Devante, as 2nd, and Michael as 3rd. Crystal sang a beautiful song, as Jordyn and the crew rapped with a little comedy in it, and Michael played an instrument like there was no tomorrow. I hope they feel proud of themselves. Now I heard everyone rehearse before they came and when Crystal found out that there was many people coming to watch she became beyond nervous, of course boys are not they like to show off, but Crystal is a nice loud person but she was scared. Some of us as the audience cheered her on as we sat and watched her performance. She felt comfortable after that and knowing she won first place. I give my support to others also who had the guts to go up there in front of hundreds and perform. Great Job everyone.

The “Castro’s Got Talent” talent show happened today and only a couple of students showed their talents. I was one of the few that did. Some sang, others played instruments, the cheerleaders did one of their routines, one group danced, and I said some of my own poems. Although they were all great only 3 talents got picked as the best. In 3rd it was Michael playing his saxophone, the song raiders march from Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark. In 2nd was the trio of Jordyn, Kevin, and Devonty, dancing and beat boxing to “pants on the ground”. Finally in first place was Crystal singing a beautiful song. It would have been an honor for my talent to be placed in the top 3 but so is life. As I said all of the talents were great. Hopefully we can have this experience again.

Today was the first talent show ever to be done here in Castro. All the people that showed their talent were pretty good but the thing that made me crack up the most was the last talent. They rapped “Pants on the Ground.” Even though I thought that the jerking people were going to win but they didn’t, who knows why? It was cool how the cheerleaders started it off. Michael Neri came in third place, Jordan’s team came in second, and Crystal came in first. The talent show was good it was cool to get out of class for like 45 minutes. I thought that all of the people were very brave today. They had to face that big crowd.

The talent show that we saw today was great because there was so many
Students who participated in this week’s talent show. The first performance was
The cheerleaders and they were good at cheerleading in the talent show.
The second performance was three students who were dancing while the music
Was on. The other performance was two girls singing in the talent show.
After the other performance, another student played a guitar and it was great.
And then, another girl was also singing a song that was really cool.
Later, the other performance was three students, who were dancing, singing,
And their Pants fell down it was also great. After that, another student was
Playing the saxophone and it was also great that he was playing the saxophone.
Then, the other student was telling a poem and the poem was so sweet.
This year’s talent show was the best in Castro middle school.

We just came back from the eighth grade talent show. It was tremendously exciting. Everyone was extremely talented but I felt some were better than others. For example Wendy and her friends was great but her act would have been with just Wendy but that is just how I feel. Another thing Crystal was amazing don’t get me wrong but I thought someone else should have gotten first place. I thought that Wendy should have gotten first place because people could hear her better than Crystal. My favorite act was Jordyn and others dancing, singing, and beat boxing to “Pants On The Ground.” I don’t think they were the best but their performance was hilarious. Finally, I just wanted to say I am excited we had the talent show it was fun to get out of class to have a little fun and THANK YOU Ms. Farley for working so hard on putting it all together. I had a really fantastic time. If you have any thing you would like to say please comment this.

On February 26, 2010 we had a talent show. The talent show was kind of funny in the end but most of it was actually boring. I think that Jordan, Kevin, and Devontay should of gotten the first place because they made a great job and they were funny it was extremely awesome with them. The thing is that for me it was boring because I was alone and I wanted to be with my friends. What I didn’t like about the talent show it was that I couldn’t hear when the students were playing the instrument or when they were singing. Well, the good thing is that I have a little bit of fun.

Today Friday 26th there was an assembly at Castro Middle School. It was about a talent a lot of people from our school tried out. The kids who tried did a lot of different stuff some played an instrument, some danced, and other singed. The school cheerleaders also dance and cheered for our school. It was fun to go to the talent show. The talent was about an hour or so. At the end of the talent show the teacher announced who had won 3rd, 2nd and 1st place.

Today we went to the gym and saw the talent show this boy went up and read poetry. I told my friend that “Next year in freshman I’m going up and reading poetry.” He said “yeah” an I said “Yup that’ll get you girls ha-ha” but yeah his poetry was really good like he should have been in the top 3. John went up an it was ok I don’t really like tuba things. But the cheerleaders were really good when those two girls sang and Shermanie was really good it was the best singing I feel of the day. Also Brian, José and those other guys were jerking they were good like in a jerking contest but not in a talent show. Devoneta Jordan and Kevin sang that one song pants on the ground its was good but more funny than talent. Crystal won the contest one off the better singers at the talent show I feel the list should have went like this though shermanie crystal then the cheerleaders but it’s ok people have there different opinions an I respect that.
