Pierceton Elementary recently held its 16th annual talent show under the direction of Julie Underhill, who took it over when founder Carolyn Nye retired from teaching. Students could enter in four categories, which were vocal, variety, instrumental and dance. This year there were 16 student acts which included 27 students. Mrs. Ball’s class also did a slide presentation and recited the poem “Invictus.” After the acts concluded and judges Georgia Tenney, Caroline Nye and Pam Baker left to deliberate, the school’s “Dancing Grannies” took the stage dancing to a variety of popular song segments. This group was made up of Principal Nathan Polston and several of his teaching staff. Pictured (L to R) are students who were medalists, front row: Candence Sauer, who did Taekwondo and received third in variety; Addie and Guinny Garr, who danced to “Shake it Off,” receiving second place; Caiden Blankenship, Kennedy Slone, Christlynn Bradley and Karmon Linn, who received second place in variety for their comic routine of “The Tree is on Fire”; second row: Jillian Culp, Audra Brandenburg and Amy Brown who received first place in vocal for their song “From the Inside Out”; Lily Spurlin who received second place in vocal with her song ”Automatic”; Jaycie Thomas, who won first in instrumental with her piano solo titled “Blues Scale”; Lily Spurlin, Jaycie Thomas, Shoshana Keim, Brianna Kennedy and Ella Thomas who won first place in the variety competition with their song “Lollipop.” Not pictured is Shelbi Wine, who won first doing a ballet routine to “Stronger.” People’s choice votes were tallied and announced to the students the day before Thanksgiving break when the show was presented for the student body. Those winners were Shelbi Wine in dance, Jaycie Thomas in instrumental, Holly Branning in vocal and Ella Thomas, Jaycie Thomas, Lily Spurlin, Breanna Kennedy and Shoshana Keim in variety.
