Watching students perform at school talent shows is always a joy, whether they’re singing, dancing, or displaying another skill. While every participant deserves recognition for their bravery and effort, sometimes a performance shines so brightly it surpasses expectations for their age.
In 2017, four fifth graders from New Braunfels Christian Academy in Texas delivered a standout act at their Elementary Talent Show. To keep their act under wraps until the big reveal, the boys began their performance cloaked in black fabric. When the cloth was removed, their surprise outfits—a playful combination of baby costumes and small prosthetic legs—were met with uproarious laughter from the audience.
The fun didn’t stop there. The boys entertained the crowd further with a creative and humorous dance routine set to popular songs. They kicked things off with an enthusiastic rendition of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” and the crowd went wild for their performance of “Kung Fu Fighting” by Carl Douglas, complete with kung fu moves in their amusing suits.
This memorable performance wasn’t the only standout moment from fifth graders. In 2014, eight students from Porter Elementary also captivated their audience with a synchronized swimming routine on a blue plastic sheet that mimicked a pool. Their inventive performance earned them loud cheers and applause.
Both performances, which have collectively garnered over 30 million views, highlight the incredible creativity and talent showcased at school talent shows. Captivating an audience, even for just a few minutes, is no small feat, and these young performers achieved it with flair.
A report says that Robert Saleh, the head coach of the Jets, thought about firing Nathaniel Hackett, the team’s offensive coordinator, before he was let go as head coach himself.
Robert Saleh said he was surprised to find out he was fired as the Jets’ head coach on Tuesday. A report shows that he was thinking about firing offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett after the team’s loss to the Vikings in Week Five. Todd Downing, the passing game coordinator, was likely going to take Hackett’s place.
However, firing Hackett might have caused tension with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, since Rodgers and Hackett have a close history from their time together in Green Bay. Jets owner Woody Johnson said he didn’t talk to Rodgers about firing Saleh, but he might have considered Rodgers’s opinion if there were problems within the coaching staff.
Now, defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is the interim head coach, and Hackett is still leading the offense, which has scored the same amount of points as last season when Rodgers wasn’t playing.
