Secondary Talent Show Disney on Stage
As President of the HSSG it was an exciting and astonishing experience to be able to be a part of the minds behind the 2026 ‘Disney on Stage’ Talent show. This year we selected our theme of ‘Disney on Stage’ through a process of collaboration with the student body, allowing more diverse and fun performances! I was thrilled to see the many students that gave time and effort into preparing for the performances.
All the auditions, whether it was bands or singers, gave it their all and completely surpassed our expectations for the show. While watching the auditions, we were completely amazed by how everyone dressed up as Disney characters or came up with some funny pre-shows. I am very grateful for everyone who participated, helping to create a unified school spirit for the talent show.
Moreover, this year we had the addition of the skits as a connector for all the many great performances. Writing the skits, I had the intention of allowing the student body to be thoroughly entertained, to let go of the stress from school and really be into the fun and at times humorously chaotic nature of the skits.
As the student representatives of the school, we all prepared rigorously, spending time after school perfecting the skits for the audiences to enjoy. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity of being able to work with such enthusiastic student reps all the way from Grade 6 to Grade 11, whether they played the role of Mickey Mouse or Spiderman.
Seeing the reps perform on stage and really reach into their comedic strengths made me extremely proud.
I am glad that I got to direct this crew of students that are not only good representatives but also amazing actors and MCs and I am sure this experience will always be a memorable part of my high school years. Furthermore, being able to see the student body laughing at our skits and interacting with the performers made me realize the impact and importance of the HSSG, that we are able to create something special the school community.
The 2026 ‘Disney on Stage’ will truly be an experience that I will always cherish, so thank you to everyone who participated and supported the show, especially the IT Team, our advisors, and the teachers that helped us students put the show together!

T
he “Disney on Stage” Talent Show 2026 was a highly successful and memorable event that brought together students from different grades to celebrate creativity, performance, and school spirit. As the Vice President of Events for the HSSG, I was deeply involved in every stage of the process, from promoting the event and organizing auditions to coordinating rehearsals and executing the final performance
Watching the event gradually come to life was extremely rewarding, as it reflected the collective effort of the organizing team, performers, and supporting teachers. What made this talent show unique compared to previous years was the focus on the theme. Instead of being a traditional competition where students would compete based on talent, performers competed for the “Spirit of
Disney Award,” which emphasized creativity, storytelling, and how well the acts embodied the Disney theme (shoutout to Hydrogen and Root 36 for winning the award!).
This shift encouraged students to think beyond technical performance making the show more immersive and memorable for the students and teachers. Additionally, skits which were written, directed, and performed by reps from MS and HS accompanied performances which really make the Disney Spirit come to life.
However, organizing the event also came with challenges, particularly the limited timeframe. Auditions, rehearsals, and the final performance all took place within the same week, which required meticulous planning and constant communication with performers, the technical crew, and advisors.
Balancing these responsibilities while ensuring the event ran smoothly taught me the importance of time management, adaptability, and teamwork under pressure.
In the end, the positive feedback from performers, students, and teachers demonstrated the event’s impact on the school community. All in all, I am really grateful to be leading this event and it will definitely be a core memory of my senior year.
For everyone who was part of the “Disney on Stage” Talent Show 2026, I would like to thank you for your support and the time and effort you dedicated!
