This year's Mene Stars Talent Show got off to a rocky start with the gym's makai side bleachers refusing to open, but with a last minute Plan B (floor seating) and the patience of the junior and sophomore teachers and students, the Talent Show went on! And what a great show it was! This year's talented group of performers were so good that the judges had a really difficult time trying to pick the top two, but in the end, beatboxer Elijah Puchert grabbed the top spot and Temoananui Keith and her powerful rendition of "Man's World" came in second. Thank you to all the performers, MC's Sili Coffin and Kylah Hughley, show advisor Duane Suyama, Talent Show Committee, and PA expert Gary Meyer for a job well done! Congratulations to ALL the participants!
