B TALENT QUEST - FINAL Thursday's Talent Quest final was an outstanding event, showcasing a wide range of musical, vocal and dance talent. Superbly MC'd by the comedic trio of Monty Mathieson, Fairuz Afandi and Shirley Chen, the event highlighted what a range of top quality talent we have at Avondale College! The musical performances were diverse, with a string quartet, a jazz quartet, a rock band and an Indian drumming group. The dance section featured a high energy K-Pop number with 27 performers; and a performance by hip hop dancer (and Head Boy) Kiahan Simons-Tipau, who won second place this year. As ever, the vocal performances were strong, with three soloists and a trio, and a stand out performance of 'Bust Your Windows' by overall winner, Delores Lesatele. As tradition demands, the evening concluded with items by staff and prefects, with the prefects bringing a life-sized Super Mario game to the stage. The undisputed winners though were the staff, with their superb 'dance through the decades' number. Special thanks go to the judges (Ben Collier, Grace Ikenasio and Hadleigh Pouesi) who had the difficult job of choosing the winners, and to the Talent Quest Prefect Committee and to the Year 13 Deans Mrs Parker and Mrs Yallop and Deputy Principal Dr Brown for their efforts in putting together such an entertaining evening.
