The 2018 St. James Parish Ambassadors, Ryan Herbert and Shae Coulthrust in conversation at last Saturday’s St. James Parish Talent Show.

St. James selects five for Zonal Talent Show

Zane Corbin was the picked of the judges over the weekend when the St. James Parish Independence Committee staged its Talent Show.

Corbin wowed with his steel pan performance of Red Plastic Bag’s “Boat Ride”. It was well-received by the audience present at the Learning Centre on Saturday night.

Securing the second spot was Talibah Davis who played “Bless The Lord O My Soul” on the steel pan. Meanwhile, the Full Hype Dancers came third. The four member, all-male group were the centre of attention from the beginning to the end of their presentation. They brought lots of energy and excitement to stage as they danced to local songs “Hit It”, “Colours” and “Shackle Out”.

In fourth and fifth spots were the Western United Star 4H Band and the Western United Star 4H Group respectively. The former Band performed Mighty Gabby’s “Emmerton” while the latter danced to the song “Mega Monday”.

The top five performers have secured a place at the Zonal Parish Talent Show which is slated for September 22. At this event, only one of the five performers will be selected to represent St. James at the Spirit of the Nation Show in November.

The night’s competitors were not the only acts of the evening. Saturday’s Talent Show additionally comprised guest performances by the St. Silas Sunday School and the Capricorn Line Dancers.

The 2018 St. James Parish Ambassadors, Ryan Herbert and Shae Coulthrust used the occasion to speak to the audience about their Parish Project titled, “St. James We R.E.A.D.Y’ (Reaching Everyone Across Districts Yielding strong resilient communities). This Project focuses on disaster preparedness and some of the work to be done by the Ambassadors includes community clean-ups and the formation of first aid groups within the parish. Members of these groups will be first respondents in cases of emergencies. (MG)
