The auditorium was filled with noise and cheer as the Variety Show was ready to begin. The variety show was jam packed with outstanding acts! With performances using hula-hoops to singing an original song, the V-show proved that Niles North High School is filled with talented and awe-inspiring students.

The Variety show is a talent show in which stdents from Niles North showcase their talent and spotlight it to the school. This year the theme for the v-show was V-flix, in which student government improvised a sleep-over and picked which “movie” they wanted to watch based on each performance. The V-show was judged by science teachers, Andrew Klamm and Richard Theilsan, with guidence counsler, Kia Pickett.

“My first experience at the v-show was amazing. I didn’t know that most of my classmates has so much talent and it was phenomenal watching them,” Sumerah Khatoon, senior, said.

Here is the list of people who performed in the V-Show:
1) Camero Benesch (pianist)
2) Daniel Kim and Eunseok Lee (singing)
3) Alexis B., Jazmyn T., Mi L., Sally L. (dancing)
4) Ashley Gonzalez (singing)
5) Nina Green and Raina Chinitz (singing)
6) Leah Rubinberg (singing)
7) Kimberly Fernandez (acapella)
8) Rena Chariachangel (hula-hoop)
9) Jacob Austria and Russell Reyes (singing)
10) Jessica Calma, Emma Reyes, Nelson Mafany (singing)
11) Taylor Gray (signing original song)
12) Justin de la Cruz (singing)
13) Benji Rubinberg and John McCreary (drum duet)
14) Ari Bearman, Josh Hoffman-Peterson, Emily Roman, and Julia Tichota (band)

“Being a senior, it was sad that this would be the last time I would show my talent of dancing. Every performer made me proud that I go to Niles North High School and I am proud of myself of how far I have come!,” Mi Lee, dancer, said.

After a night filled with astounding acts, Rena Chariachangel, senior, won first place with her mystique hula-hoop act. Taylor Gray won second place for her orignal song titled, Forever, and Kimberly Fernadez, freshman, won third place for her aca-awesome acapella.

Rena’s performance made the audience’s glaze into her act. The spinning of her hula-hoop made people look up and down as it swung in a 360 rotation in her hand. The lights really caught the attention of the audience with different colors and patterns. What really astonished everyone was how Rena could do stunts with hula-hoop in the dark.

“I was surprised when they announced that I got first place. I was not expecting that at all! I honestly thotught I wouldn’t have gotten any place because all the other acts were so amazingly good. I prepared in only one week! I only choreographed a dew parts of my dance routine and the rest of it was all improvised,” Rena Chariachangel, winner, said.

If you have a special talent you want to share and want to perform it then try out for the V-show in 2016.
