Hopkins Got Talent shows off students' skills
"Stop! Look at Me," simply put, is the king of introductions. As the song "Thriller" began, the performers, dressed as the living dead, rose from the audience. One performer even jumped out of his seat, flew across several chairs and landed on the stage. However, this energy quickly dissipated as technical problems caused the music to stop to play. It took several tries before the issue was resolved and, by then, the shock from the beginning had dissipated and turned into frustration. Despite these problems, the dance group put on a wonderful show, paying homage to the pop king Michael Jackson.
Technical problems throughout the program took away from much of the excitement at times. Music skipped, started late or started early; the microphones would make loud, painful sounds during performances and in between acts. While these small problems did not destroy the show, they were nuisances that built over time.
Time also became a factor. The show started 40 minutes late and did not end until after 11 p.m. Yes, the show was entertaining, but it went on for too long.
Though the event's goal was to raise funds for UNICEF and Palestinian refugee children, Vision XChange chose to put their guest speaker at the very end, when most people decided to leave. The presentation by Amy Weir struck a deep chord with the audience. It is a shame that more weren't there to hear her message.
