Well, folks, It’s here once again. The annual Mac-Hi talent show has returned. Every year, McLoughlin High school Key Club hosts a talent show for all of its student body to participate. Whether you’re interested in watching someone sing, dance, tell comedic jokes, or drop a few sick verses, all are welcome to watch our contestants show off their talents at this coming talent show on April 29. If you don’t know yet, the talent show will be held in the Mac-Hi Auditorium at 6:00.
As we’ve seen last year, there were quite a number of singers that showed off their harmonic voices. One man that stood out was none other than Diego Romero, who took first place with his own original song. Diego had been in the works with this song for quite a while. Once it was completed, he figured it was something good he’d want to share with his peers. Unlike most of his music, Diego’s original wasn’t exactly labeled in the blues genre. He wanted to do something different, so he changed it up for the year. That was definitely a bold move that paid off. This year, though, we’ll expect to see something upbeat, but still similar to his usual work. And, yes, Romero says it’ll most surely be another original piece.
The humble Diego Romero really loves musical work he does. It was actually the main reason why he entered the talent show. He clarifies that he wasn’t in it for the money or fame, though those were a nice bonus. Really, he says he just wanted to go out there to do what he does and have fun. Like most people, Diego was pretty nervous when he went on stage. Though, it only takes a moment for him to forget the fears, enjoy the show, and just get lost in the music.
One of the other contestants from last year, Sandra Pereyda, also had her fun on stage. She very much enjoyed the rehearsals as well because other contestants “were so much fun to look at and kind of know what people are doing. That way, you can be BETTER THAN THEM!...Just kidding,” but she really did like being a part of the talent show. Even being on stage, she says she felt more excited and nervous because she felt thrilled to be up there and being able to go up there to present her poem about gender and society, which was co-written by Samuel Donovan Miller. This poem and their empowered delivery won the two were able to take second place last year. We will expect to see Sandra Pereyda presenting some more of her rather moving slam poetry.
For those that feel they have a talent of any kind they’d like to show but are feeling a bit uneasy to go out there, listen to these fellow talented people and what they say about expressing yourself. Diego Romero feels that you just need to “ Get your butts up there and do it. No one’s ever gonna know if don’t go up there and try.” Simply going up there and giving it a shot takes balls. Sandra Pereyda had something similar to tell students thinking about entering the Talent show. Quoting one Shia Labeouf, she says to, “ Just do it.” But she also says she’s more than willing to lend a hand to those too shy to try it out. Speaking from her past, Pereyda understands how it is to be a shy kid. Like her, you can grow out of that and become a more forward and empowered person. From us here at the Crimson and Black Press, we wish you contestants and talented souls good luck.
