LVC’s chapter of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) will debut its first-ever talent show.

The talent show will feature more than 30 students, with the acts ranging from singing and acting to drawing and Irish step dancing.

“I am most excited about seeing each of the acts,” Anna Romano, a sophomore music education major and treasurer of NAfME, said. “We have a large variety of talents, and I am really looking forward to how [the performers] present them.”

While NAfME is the lone sponsor of the talent show, it had help from Valley Audio and Wig and Buckle.

“I wanted to include other members of the music department as much as possible because we all have different expertise,” Romano said.

The judges include a mix of professors and community members, but the audience will also play an important role.

Audience members can donate to vote for their favorite act. The performance that earns the most money will receive the audience’s choice award. First, second and third place winners and the audience’s choice winner will receive gift cards.

The NAfME officers have been working on the talent show for months and look forward to seeing it all come together.

“I cannot wait to see our hard work pay off,” Romano said.

The show will take place on Friday, March 22, at 7 p.m. in Leedy Theater. Entry is by a minimum $1 donation. Contact Anna Romano at alr005@lvc.edu with questions.
