Fillmore Middle School’s Annual Talent Show last Friday night May 26th was a resounding success. There were 21 acts that performed center stage at the middle school. The FMS talent show is open to all 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at the school. All they have to do is try out and show up to the practices. Any student with the drive and determination to be in the show could. The inclusiveness is what makes this show so special. Students many had never seen before perform surprised the audience with incredible singing, dancing and jokes as well from the MC’s. The applause from the crowd motivated each subsequent group as they took their turn on the stage. The acts ranged from singing and dancing to martial arts and a scene from a musical. The teachers also performed with a singing and dance number themselves. What makes this talent show such a success is the leadership of the drama club Mrs. Bortins and Ms. Musgrove working tirelessly at lunch and after school with the diverse group of talents of the students to put on the show. Each act had their own music, costumes and props. The positive energy back stage was incredible as each act finished the other students in the wings high fived and fist pumped each other on a job well done. The feeling amongst the performers was inspirational. Great job FMS and its talented students.
