Due to the nature of the special award categories, some students had no judges today, and others had up to 7 judges. As the team arrived back at the Trent Campus in the early afternoon, spirits were again high, of course in part due to the fact that there is no more judging!
The afternoon had the Team break up into a variety of activities - soapstone carving, art, a hike of the Trent trails, a discussion on green environmental practices, and more. After dinner was the "Canada's Got Talent" show...
Another name could be "BASEF has Got Talent", since 6 of the 25 or so acts were from our Team! Calvin, Andy, Mikaela, Meagan, Emma, and Aliyah were all entered into the show. By showtime the theatre was not only completely full, but students were sitting on the stairs and by the wall - standing room only!
The audience was great, and the talent on display was great - there was piano, fiddling, dance, singing, and more. Aliyan and Emma both did nice musical numbers, and Mikaela did a rhythmic gymnastic routine. Just as Calvin was about to go on, they stopped the show as it was running "over time", and announced it would continue Thursday night. A disappointment not only to the performers that were about to do their routines, but also a disappointment for the very enthusiastic and appreciative audience that was eager to see more.
The day closed with an open-air rock concert (though speaking for myself, I would have been more than happy to see more of that great Canada-Wide participant talent instead!)
