Ever since growing up, I've always held a specific distrust for LDS talent shows. It's never been my preferred young single adults activity, however, the camp out version of the talent show, completely changed my opinion! From the beginning the main leaders rallied up the crowd, throwing out pieces of chocolaty goodness to any participant willing to scream loud enough! Several "waves" swept the ranks of the crowd, later followed by some intense blood pumping music, and music videos. Some of the talents included artists singing (Bubbly by Colbie Caillat, impressions of Michael Jackson, Roberto Carlos singing Cara Sou Eu) dancing, and even some forro and samba presentations. I have to admit some of the talents weren't really good haha. But the whole atmosphere had an electric feel to it, and everyone was just having a lot of fun. I have to give credit to the organizers that were able to rally the crowd in such an way that just being there, despite the talent, was fun. I realized after that moment that it wasn't the talent of any single performer that "made"the talent show, but all the performances put together combined with some savvy organizing that made the event memorable to say the least. I came out of that talent show, floating above the ground, ready for the dance that was scheduled for that night. If the organizers had just put on some music and moved all the chairs, I wouldn't doubt for a minute that everyone would just get up and start busting out some dance moves!
