Today was full of energy, laughter, and unforgettable moments at GV BOCES Dansville Campus during the 2nd annual Talent Show! The auditorium was packed with family, friends, staff, and CTE students—all there to support and cheer on the amazing performers. From powerful singing and energetic dancing to a creative slideshow and even a basketball performance, the variety of acts had the crowd clapping, laughing, and smiling from start to finish. Performers took the stage solo and in duos, each one shining in their own unique way.
Just when everyone thought the excitement had peaked, Principal Jeremy Morris made a surprise appearance, rolling out with two students to perform “Wheels on the Bus”—instantly becoming a crowd favorite!
