Provo City School District's Centennial Middle School Students Let Talent Shine

Fifty-seven students from Centennial Middle School in Provo City School District participated in the 15th Annual Centennial Talent Show, sponsored by the National Junior Honor Society, by performing or working as stage and tech crews to produce the 90-minute show. Performances included dance, vocal, and instrumental numbers. The blackout"Glow Stick" dance was a hit along with the electric guitar performance. Student Annie Hayward stated, "The dancing was fabulous, the singing was incredible and working together was great."

Many of the students were able to show case their original music on the piano and on the guitar. The students auditioned and rehearsed for several weeks preparing for the show. Centennial Principal Mitch Swenson commented, "It is an incredible opportunity for students, who would not necessarily associate with each other, to come together to share their talents with their peers."
