ARTSCO Talent Show

On Saturday, December 1st was the ARTSCO talent show. Nidhi, Lucie and I arrived at school at 4:00, and helped paint decorations, and make posters/signs for the games. Lucie and I also brought some chocolate chip cookies that we had baked for the bake sale.

The whole of the ARTSCO group was present, and people worked together extremely well. In the arts room people were busy putting glitter and painting red and white stripes on cardboard stars, while outside there were tents set up for the games.

The games consisted of: a hoola hoop competition, throwing darts at balloons (filled with paint), throwing rings and beanbags, etc. The prizes were candy and goldfish (which I thought was extremely inhumane, but were nevertheless popular). The goldfish were awarded if you hit six balloons with darts in a row.

After taping up signs for the games, folding pamphlets, and hanging up stars around the auditorium I was put in charge of one of the game stands, and the goldfish.

When people began to arrive they stood outside and played games, and many people came up and demanded to look at the goldfish (one boy even tried to buy one from me!).

The talent show was a big success, and all of the acts were amazing (though some had a few minor slip ups). The winners were a one person band, singer, and pianist.

ARTSCO did a great job!
