Nonstop fun and top-notch performances were featured at the annual Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School talent show. The event was held on the evening of April 7, and all proceeds were donated to the American Cancer Society.
While the audience relaxed and enjoyed the entertainment, the judges — including English teacher Stefania Flecca and RFH Music Director Bill Grillo — had a tough decision to make. Choosing first, second, and third place winners from among the eighteen amazing acts was not an easy feat.
First prize was awarded to a group including Paddy Ahimovic and Matt Bavuso for their performance of “Ziggy Stardust” by David Bowie. Katie Person claimed second prize with her dance performance to “Sinner,” and third prize went to Anthony Cinko and Tristan Kilper performing “Nothin’ on You” by B.o.B. and Bruno Mars.
