Wednesday evening the staff set up a guest and staff talent show. There’s a team of people responsible for entertainment, so they were the main acts, but there were a few other members of the staff from behind the scenes and a few guests that performed as well. There was one really good rendition of Collide by Howie Day; it was pretty strange to hear those sounds coming from a Jamaican band and singer but it was very true to the original. One guy played a pretty mean sax, and there were a few guests who had some singing talent.

There was one act that just stuck out as the worst of the night. This woman willingly got up on stage and totally butchered At Last. A don’t think she hit a single correct note for the whole song, yet her friends were all cheering her on to be louder and crazier. The worst: when the song finally ended and everyone felt obligated to clap and cheer when no one in their right mind could have enjoyed her performance. A few more drinks and I might not have noticed. Despite the low point, it was a fun evening and one of the only events setup by the staff that we’ve attended.
