Oxford Hills Key Club at the high school hosts a yearly talent show called Oxford Hills Got Talent. This year there was dancing, singing, and even a unicycle! This year’s show had twelve acts. Three finalists were picked by the judges. The judges this year were Kevin O’Reilly, one of the school’s guidance counselors, Virginia Valdes, the graphic arts teacher and Phil Hammett, who teaches art. The auditorium was nearly full during the show.
This year, the three finalists were chosen. Sydney Bivens, a junior, stole the judges hearts when she played the guitar and sang using her beautiful voice “In The Morning” by Paramore. Also chosen was an unnamed band with seniors Sophie Lawton, Breton Pinkham and Abraham Chouinard. They sang “Cigarette Daydreams” by Cage the Elephant in the first round. Loren Pinkham, a freshman, performed an original, but nameless song. He was applauded for his for his self taught piano playing.
During the last round, Loren Pinkham performed another original song without a name, but with as Pinkham said, “an oriental feel.” The trio of Sophie, Abraham and Breton had played “Hallelujah” for the judges. Sydney Bivens took her guitar out again and performed “Call It Off” by Tegan and Sara, for her last performance. While the judges took some time to decide who their favorite performance was, the audience gave the people’s choice vote to Jack Gentempo for his whacky act, which included juggling, dancing and a little bit of magic. When the judges finally chose a winner, it was Sydney Bivens who took the prize. She was handed an oversized check for $200. She went home with the win and a giant smile.
