Our annual ISM Krylatskoe's Got Talent took place on Thursday, February 6th in the Ivan Gromov Gymnasium at our Krylatskoe Upper Campus.
Following a record number of applicants, auditions were held over numerous lunch and break times with House Captains eventually compiling a final list of 17 acts. The talent on show this year showcased skills ranging from magic to comedy and even to viral dances.
Our fantastic Head Boy, Sina, and Head Girl, Gabi, did a fantastic job of encouraging the audience and the atmosphere was really supportive and encouraging throughout the show.
Students had spent that morning making beautiful banners and signs to cheer on their classmates, friends and favourite acts. The grand finale got off to a brilliant start with a lively country dance and moved swiftly through a number of highly talented acts; from Rinca, playing a stunning Mozart piano solo, to last year’s winner, Sasha, singing a very moving rendition of the Eurovision winning song ‘Rise Like A Phoenix’.
We were also treated to some illusions by our third place finalist, Sonya, who wowed the crowd with her magic show, and we laughed along throughout our runner-up, Alex’s, fantastically delivered comedy routine. One of the biggest hits of the final was Tanya’s Tik-Tok Dance, which had the entire audience joining in with the viral moves.
The show was brought to a finish with Denis' spirited rendition of the famous song 'Blue'. After a short deliberation amongst our judges, this year's winners were crowned with first prize going to the stunning ballet duo Liana and Ayumi who performed the beautiful Neapolitan Dance from the famous ballet Swan Lake!
