CV Spotlight shows off Trojan talents

As the lights dimmed in the theater and the audience quieted down, the light illuminated pink as the stage crew set up the piano and microphone. Skye Shiga and Al Lam walk on stage, the audience roars and chants Shiga’s name. Lam, the pianist, starts playing a beautiful piece, Shiga waits for her cue to join. As she plays her violin, she sways to the music, enjoying the stage. They are playing a beautiful piece called “Charles Augste De Beriot.” 

On Nov. 15 at 7 p.m., CV Spotlight opened its doors. Austin Chan and Joy Wong walked in front of the curtain with big smiles. They thanked everyone for coming and were ready to start the night of music.

CV Spotlight is a night of music and fun. It is for all types of performers to show off their talent and a night loved by all the people who watch. However, the 2024 CV Spotlight was definitely a memorable show for all. 

“I really enjoyed watching the song ‘Until I Found You’ performed by two great singers Yin Xie and Astrid Remick,” Ethan Alfonzo said. “Their performance was heartwarming, intriguing, and cute to watch, especially since both showed their love on stage while singing the song”. 

Xie and Remick sat on stools with a pink background. As they looked at each other in the instrumental part of the song, many people in the audience adored how in love they were. This was truly a touching song sung by students who felt the song was perfect for them. 

One performance that many were not expecting was Seth Lewis. Lewis did a dance to “Billie Jean” by Micheal Jackson. As he tipped his hat and threw it to the side, spun and flicked his jacket, the audience cheered in amazement. Everyone roared when he did the moonwalk. It truly felt amazing to see a Micheal Jackson dance performed so well. 

CV Spotlight is fun for both the audience and the performers. The performers liked getting to know each other and listening to different types of music performed by others. They loved seeing everyone’s talents and greatest moments.
