Did you know we have some up-and-coming songwriters, singers, piano players and actors here at Montverde Academy? Pretty good ones too!
Those talents came out strong during Montverde Academy's annual Talent Show at the Sandra O. Stephens Fine Arts building. Students sang original songs (ones that they wrote), read poetry and played tunes on the piano to delight the crowd gathered on a recent afternoon.
You could hear the gasps of surprise and even some ooohhs and aahhs as the students performed. You can't really understand how good they are by reading this... you have to WATCH them! Go to www.montverde.tv to see for yourself.
