Taunton Talent Show A Big Hit!
On the 9th of December, Taunton School hosted the 2013 Somerset Talent Show. From the outside you could tell this was a serious event. Security guards lined up to show spectators’ good parking places. CCTV cameras were covering the whole area. There were about 6 different ticket zones, to make sure that everyone that got in would be authorized to. Seeing made you think that this was definitely something worth watching. As the event started, I have to say the crowd looked a little dead, but this was just the beginning. Renounced artists, Adam Levine, Katy Perry, and Usher blew everyone’s mind. Since Taunton was quite a small town, I had not expected seeing any of these celebrities anywhere near .When the judges came in, screams started coming from every corner of the room. This was the signal that an awesome event was about to take place. Everyone took their seats, and got ready for the first act, which ended up being an astounding performance from a rock band. Act after act the crowd seemed to be getting more and more warmed up. Overhearing some people talking, the air conditioner satisfied them very much. According to them, in regular inside concerts it is very hard to breathe, today was different for them. The word fun could not enough to explain the true feeling you felt over there. No complaints seemed to be coming from the local neighbors about the noise level; this clearly was organized quite well. This was going quite well for everyone. Everything was covered at this event, food, medical care, and of course some great music. The organizer had clearly thought of everything. .Portable bathrooms were set up outside, and every 15 minutes a cleaning team would sweep the area to avoid having any rubbish on the property. Success was written everywhere. Over nearby I happen to see a girl fainting. But this was no problem, for as soon as she fainted paramedics were alerted right outside and managed to swoop in just in time. Later on when the event ended, young teens seemed to have a lot to say about it. Young teens described it as “a one in life time event #YOLO”. Organizer of this event, Sacha Nzeyimana, leaked to the press that this event raised about 500,000 pounds! This money would then be transferred to a charity to stop animal testing. The animal testing charity states that “this was probably the biggest help we’ve ever had, we will always be grateful to the organizers that made this event”. Sacha Nzeyimana mentions that he expects to do one of these events again another time, for other charities. Sacha claims that his future goal would be to not only aim for teenagers, but also other age groups. Considering, this event was a success, surely the others will be too. This is clearly not the last time we will have heard of Sacha and his team, more of this great work will definitely continue!
