Numerous musically talented students at Sydenham High School took to the stage on December 2 for the school’s annual SYD's Cafe talent show, a fundraiser for the school’s music program. A total of 13 acts entertained a large audience in the school gym and showed that the school boasts a number of incredibly talented young individuals. I caught the first half of the show, which included a spectacular solo mash-up dance by Amy Walton.
Nick Babcock accompanied himself on guitar and for his second number treated the fans to a first - one of his own original tunes, a soulful, sexy dedication to Jenny. Other highlights included two very accomplished covers by Shelby Plumridge, who accompanied herself on guitar and Maddy Creasor who sang a moving version of the tune “Beautiful” while Eddy the rapper performed his latest rhymes.
Emcees for the evening Jessie Bell and Jordan Dawson did a fine job interspersing comedic banter between the numbers. The popular event continues to be the perfect opportunity for students to show off their musical chops while raising money for the music program at the school.
