The annual Grace College Talent Show always goes down well and this year was no exception. The artists excelled themselves and the audience turned up in their hundreds.
We were entertained by a trio of gorgeous Spanish dancers, two of whom were visitors and the third was Grace College’s own Tarryn Plaatjies. Castanets and colourful costumes complimented their awesome dancing skills and left the audience shouting “Ole” after each dance. Tarryn Plaatjes, in Grade 11 at Grace College, recently completed her Grade 5 Spanish dancing exam for which she received a 78% Merit Award and for her Flamenco dancing exam Tarryn received a Bronze award.
The programme for the evening was varied and full of fun: drumming, solo singing, accompanied singing, acapella singing, comic duo’s, piano playing and guitar playing. Every artist performed excellently and they are all commended on their talent and for “showing” it at the Talent Show.
While each one was a winner, the judges awarded prizes to the following artists:
3rd – Rebecca and Michael Webster on their djembe drums
2nd – Gugu Gwamanda and her band “Mobile Supermarket”
1st - Braydon Marie playing his electric guitar
