Annual talent show benefits cancer research
February 27, 2014
On Friday, February 28th at 6:00pm, the National Honor Society will hold its annual talent show in the auditorium. Proceeds from the admissions and the basket raffle will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
The talent show is a family-friendly event. Tickets for adults will cost $5 and tickets for children over 10 are $2. Each admission qualifies for the basket raffle. The raffle basket contains gift cards to various restaurants, spa packages, a Linganore sweatshirt and more.
The prizes for the participants in the talent show are $15 per each individual category, and $50 for the winner of the overall categories. The categories are Musical Performance, Instrumental, Band, Dramatic Performance and Vocal.
The talent show will explore many Lancer hidden talents, including band performances, beat boxing, dance routines, singers, a flute duet and even a juggler. Auditions were held on February 19th. Thirty students and three faculty performances are participating in the program.
The faculty participants include Mr. Nick Tringali, Mr. Daniel Lake and Mrs. Michelle Richardson. Tringali will be singing and playing the guitar and is performing a duet with Lake. Richardson will be singing.
“The only way that Mrs. Richardson would sing in the talent show is if the dance team performed, too,” said NHS advisor Mrs. Beth Sands.

“Our goal is to reach the silver level corporate sponsors for Team in Training,” said Sands. In order to reach a silver level, they must raise a total of $2,500. Based on a previous fund raiser, the National Honor Society earned the bronze level, meaning they raised at least $1,500.

Team in Training is the largest endurance sports training program in the world. They give participants an opportunity to achieve their athletic goals and help find a cure for blood cancer.
