Lightsabers,Skywalker therapy sessions and Vader controlled dancing Jedi. This year’s Tiger’s Roar acts travelled across the galaxy to perform their talents for the community on March 23-25.
The show was directed by Mrs. Heaney. She was aided by a coalition of creative masters of ceremonies, a formidable tech crew and organized backstage workers who made the show possible. “This year went pretty well,” said senior Kailey Christensen, one of the MCs of Tiger’s Roar this year. “It was hard having spring break in the middle but with the amazing acts and, of course, Mrs. Heaney everything ran smoothly.” Along with Christensen the MCs were seniors Camryn Keyeski, Tanner Palmer, Dawson Luttrell, Logan Petersen, Aaron Zogg, Liana Schallock and Ethan Eriksmoen being the lone junior amongst his fellow MC’s.
With 21 acts performing, a unique array of talents were showcased. From solo dances, vocal duets, cat-based comedy duos to a seven man choir explaining an epic battle and escape from Shia Labeouf.
“I decided to put together Shia Labeouf because so many people enjoyed it,” said junior Sydne Reichel, who organized the choir. “Originally, it was 17 people who signed up, but the people who stuck around really reaped the benefits.”
Two hours were filled to the brim with several different acts and were broken up by the Star Wars themed skits put on by the MCs.
“My favorite skit was when Kailey and Camryn were tourists and I played Han,” said MC Dawson Luttrell. “It was hard to not smile during the show, they were great to work with and they almost had me laughing a few times.” Musicians were not absent from this show, junior Jacob Leal was involved in two acts both where he played the piano. Believing that the mood also helped make the show a success. “Being with everyone was energetic,” said Leal.
