- FNL acts gather onstage for the award ceremony.
Friday Night Live hosted FVHS’s 9th Annual Talent Show April 6 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The audience was captivated by a variety of acts, including piano medleys, dance performances and even a saxophone piece.
Singer Jacqueline Nguyen’s “Disney Night Live” performance was named top act of the night, while the saxophone group Sax-ody Saxophones was awarded second place and vocalist and guitarist Wei Yan third.
“I thought the show as a whole, was the best we’ve had in the past 3 years,” says Quazi Safin (’13). “The hosts were interesting and the contestants were very talented and well rehearsed.”
Hosts Deeder Lam and Sam Cummings began the night entertaining the crowd with funny dialogue and jokes. Together, they made a great pair and were easily able to improvise lines and keep the audience laughing.
The show began with Thomas Tran playing the piano, Misa Kieu strumming away at the ukulele and Alex Quan Pham singing a musical medley. Brandon Khong stole the spotlight of the first half of the show by electrifying the crowd with an amazing dance performance.
After intermission, the show went on. The saxophone group did great as they played their rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. The Smooth Sassy Boyz danced an amazing routine in matching outfits. Jacqueline Nguyen sang a medley of Disney songs, hurriedly changing into different princess costumes throughout the performance.
Says FNL Activities Director Samar Saad (’14), “Our talent was at its best this year and everyone did a fantastic job.”
