A scene from the Marist College Talent Show.

Great spectacle at Marist College Talent Show

Published:

The annual Marist College Talent Show took place on Thursday afternoon, May 11. It was a spectacle of dancing, singing, rapping and timed Rubik Cube solving, showcasing the wide range of talent on offer from our students.

Mr Byrne, MC extraordinaire, took to the stage for what was to be his last gig as Talent Show host before he moves closer to home this summer. He engaged the audience from the moment the show began and held their attention right up to the finale, where he involved the whole school in a performance of ‘Sweet Caroline’.

The audience were a credit to the Marist community, supporting and cheering on each act. The overall winner was Leon Cassidy with his rendition of ‘Ice, Ice Baby’. Vincent Meyer and Marco Gaetani came second with their version of Neil Diamond’s classic ‘Money Talks’.

In third place was Harsha Vardhan Goparaju who thrilled the audience by solving an amazing five Rubik cubes in less than three minutes. A special mention to judges Ms Linnane, Ms Fleming, Harry Stuart-Trainor and Mark Keegan, who evaluated each act and gave them constructive feedback.

Thanks to Mr Byrne, Ms Carey and Ms Coleman for planning and producing such a fantastic show. The preparations for a show like this start months in advance and big thanks to the teachers who put in many hours to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day.
