MNVA’s got Talent!

The Minnesota Virtual Academy held a talent show for their elementary and middle school kids last week, and all 3 of the kids decided to participate.   J.D. joined his brother and sister, even though he isn’t in MNVA.   He of course wanted to be part of the fun!  They did a 6 minute magic show that included 3 tricks, and did a great job!    I was so impressed by all the talented kids that performed!   There were 21 acts in all, and the show lasted exactly 2 hours.   I didn’t get pictures of all the different acts but here are a few of the amazing kids that showed off their gifts of talent for us.

First off the teachers all did an opening song to get us started.

Ethan and his brother,Ezra, sang and  played the piano beautifully.   These boys are friends of ours that don’t live too far away.   Obviously I wasn’t sitting in the right spot for getting any good shots of the piano players.   There were several piano players, and I couldn’t see any of them :(

              

These two girls each sang beautifully A cappella.  One of them sang “Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer)” by Nick Jonas and the other sang “Call on Jesus” by Nicole C. Mullen.

                  

Two young men playing different instruments.

   

A few other examples of the talents displayed, Kung Fu and Poetry Reciting with his brother doing a little acting, and young lady who did some card tricks.

   

                   

There were several dancing acts that were really fun, each different than the other.   And our family’s favorite act was a young man that did a monologue from a scene from “The Incredibles.”   He did a scene between the characters Frozone and his wife.   He split his costume down the middle and stood in profile so he was both the parts talking to each other.   He was so amazing and FUNNY!   I wished I would have taken some pictures, but I was enjoying his act so much I forgot to take pictures.  

And finally there was Family FUNtastic!

  They started with the dollhouse trick.   They did this trick with the background music, “Love is in the House” by TobyMac.

    

Then Noah read Mr. Biatto’s mind.

And last Hannah made a dove appear out of an empty tube.

   

    You can’t see it very well, but Hannah’s  holding a dove in the picture above.

Here’s a group shot of all the kids who performed at MNVA’s got Talent 2009.   Good job everybody!!!
