Due to Pingry’s transition to remote learning last week, students from all four grades were able to showcase their talent in Pingry’s first-ever Remote Talent Show! Over spring break, Student Government class presidents were hard at work redesigning the format of the competition using a March-Madness-style bracket. “We had to reorganize the entire bracket, but it ultimately allowed for more students to be able to display their talents,” said J.P. Salvatore (III), freshman class president. He described his excitement to see the talents presented and his hope that it would be a great community-bonding experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students submitted a variety of talents, ranging from self-accompanied songs to skillful soccer ball handling. Out of the 11 submissions, the Upper School voted on their four favorite acts. The top 4 students advanced to the final round and were able to submit new clips of their talents. The four finalists were Sophia Cavaliere (V), Camille Collins (III), Natalie DeVito (IV), and Nicol\u00e1s Send\u00f3n (III). All the finalists brought their best to the final round, and it was up to students to decide who would ultimately become the first-ever champion of the Remote Talent Show. “It was fun seeing the final four talents and voting \u2026 I was impressed by the amount of talent each grade has to offer,” said Ram Doraswamy (IV).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, on Monday, Nicol\u00e1s Send\u00f3n (III) was announced winner and Natalie DeVito (IV) earned runner-up. Nicol\u00e1s had played a song on the bagpipes, while Natalie sang a song and self-accompanied on guitar. “I was excited to hear that I had won \u2026 everyone brought a lot of talent to the show, and I’m grateful for the community’s support,” Nicol\u00e1s remarked. Natalie agreed, describing her gratitude for those who reached out to her. “Connection and solidarity is super important right now, and sharing art has the potential to bring people together, now more than ever,” she said. Nicol\u00e1s was awarded a $20 Amazon gift card for winning first place. Congratulations to Nicol\u00e1s and Natalie, and to all others who participated!<\/span><\/p>\n
