St. Joseph’s Catholic High School has a top-notch performing arts community, one that is the envy of schools much larger in size and numbers.
At some point, you find yourself asking yourself where it is that all these people come from.
St. Joseph’s Catholic High School features a full roster of musical performers, with the ability to crank out one quality performance after another, leaving those assembled decidedly impressed with the level of talent that walks the halls of this place.
What’s more, after graduating several top performers the years, the cupboard has seemingly been replenished, with several outstanding acts coming from students just entering into the school’s performing arts community. This, of course, bodes well for the performing arts program as a whole, as it appears that there’s a steady stream of emerging talent in the school to augment the impressive numbers of senior students who, through their own gifts, provide the school with a very rich fabric that is the envy of many.
It’s like taking a look at the very best of everything.
That’s what we we’re treated to whenever we get the opportunity to witness our performing arts community in action.
Diversity, humour and comedy, music and drama. And the rich and wonderful variety that’s the hallmark of the work and passion that lay behind every effort. All of it is on display, showcasing who we are to the school, to our connected communities, and to the world.
And it’s beautiful. Truly beautiful.
When students take that risk to perform in public, in front of peers and family alike, they put themselves “out there” so to speak, and the mere prospect of such can send most of us running for cover. But when you see them take that risk, by stepping in front of a microphone, either musically or dramatically, or even both, and share with us a part of themselves in a way that is so profoundly personal, well, the result can be breath-taking. And one can only come away from that thoroughly impressed with it all.
Impressed by the courage. And impressed by the talent that lay behind that courage.
