The talent show was a great success! The theme was "Tioga Idol" and we did our own version of the popular show.
Katie Dean was the night's Emcee, and she did a great job opening the show for us. Then Ryan Seacrest (Aaron McWhorter) took over, introducing the night's contestants. We had our own version of Simon (Hunter Walthall) Randy (Will Green) Paula (Jaimie Hughes) and Cara (Ashleigh Holcomb). Nick Gambill handed out golden tickets!
The Tioga Idol contestants were:
Dylan Shannon
Kari Hughes
Abbie Harp
Payne Luneau
Brittany Barnett
Macie Ellis
Erin Crozier
Savannah Dombkowski
Dillon Bryant
Jacob Harp
Trevor McRae
Aaron Harp
Audrey Staples
Austin Hamner
Lauren Waller
Chelsea Hamner
Stormi Dutton
All of the contestants did a great job!
There were other "contestants" too, as we continued our version of the show. There was Danni Jo (Danielle Lintner) who dressed up like her guitar; Vanessa from Tennessee (Samantha Holcomb); The sisters who wouldn't be separated (Faith and Destiny Caperton) and The Five Amigo's doing "Pants on the Ground" (Jesus Romo, Gerardo Gonzales, Draven Lorance, JP Hoffman, and Hayden Minhinuett).
The night's winners were:
Third place: Lauren Waller
Second place: Dillon Bryant
First place and our new Tioga Idol: Abbie Harp
We raised almost $400 and part of the night's proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. We would like to thank our real judges: Allie Echols, Dustin Echols, and Eric Bayer. We would also like to thank all of the teachers and parents who helped out!
