Tuesday, April 16, the PTSO held a variety show for the many talented students and teachers of Orange High School.
This variety show displayed thirteen amazing acts that captivated the audience and received a great applause from the crowd. The acts included The Runoff Ramblers singing many bluegrass diddies, Ally Farthing singing “Not Even Human," The Halo Effect (made up of A’Qeel Laster, Cameron Price, and Andrew Williamson) playing an original piece of rock, Brooke White singing “Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word” mashed up with “Mockingbird," Sarah Leverette playing the flute, the Robotics Team doing the Harlem Shake, and Anastasia Zitko singing “Viva la Vida” and “In My Life."
Other performers included Samantha Nance presenting four original pieces of poetry, Sankwon Reams doing a karate demonstration, and Asia Latta singing “Stay."
Jack Twomey-Kozak and Saiquan Clark rapped, after which Wyn Payton and Dominique Ruffin played a perfectly organized performance on the drums and didgeridoo. Finally, to finish up the night the lady varsity soccer team did their rendition of the Harlem Shake to many different pieces of music.
The acts did an amazing job keeping the audience’s attention and staying very relaxed on stage. Brooke White, a girl who sang and was on the Robotics team, commented, “Well, I was nervous at first, but when I got up on stage I just wanted to do [perform] more.”
All of the acts did a wonderful job entertaining the audience, and so did the Master of Ceremonies, Edward Marsh. Marsh provided very funny entertainment to the crowd between acts, even though he was interrupted many times by Colin Moore, who was a helping stagehand. He worked this right into the act and got a laugh out of it many times. When asked about his job of presenting the acts in the show he said, “I was nervous, but it turned out to be a blast and a great opportunity to help the PTSO raise money. I can only do so much and I like to help out. All I can give them is moral support.”
