7 Article By: Zach Blaifeder Photos by: Stu Lisbe

	Much thanks goes out to Stu for taking pictures for this journal. This reporter had other things to do. More on that later.
The hype for this talent show had started even before campers and counselors took their seats in the theater. At dinner, Lurrie and Jake, two of the show's hosts passed out tickets for the event in suits and top hats.
This exclusive event was hard to get into. Not everyone could get tickets.
	The show began with a video feature performed by the hosts of the show, Simon, Matt, Ste, Lauren, Emma, and Jake.
They never made it on stage during the show. Here's why:
	This reporter (Zach) along with Super Senior counselor Kyle were chosen to introduce acts, probably because of their hilarity.
Marisa and Lily opened the show by dancing their way through Nikki Minaj's "Super Bass".
	Noah then sang a fantastic rendition of the song "Use Somebody".
In between acts, the hosts showed several videos to the audience. Here's a sampling.
	Sam and Brie danced magnificently to "Who's That Chick".
Eric spooked the crowd with his awesome dance to the song "Day and Night".
	Logan then found his inner Kanye West while dancing to "Heartless".
Katie and Kat then used stilts and other props to wow the audience with their dance.
	Daryn and Deanna made the crowd feel like they were on Broadway when they sang "What is this Feeling?".
Devon and Kim then showed the camp their highly skilled dance moves.
	Ethan brought the crowd back to the 1970s when he sang "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown".
The audience was in for a special treat next. Over the past several weeks, a rap activity has been offered at camp. A couple of campers from the activity laid down their chill beats.
An unexpected, but amazing dance by the nurses and office staff came next.
	Every year, the Dupers (campers who are in their last year), performed a song they wrote themselves. This tradition at camp is always met with standing ovations and hugs at then end.
And there you have it; the Week 7 Talent Show! Special thanks to the hosts for doing a wonderful job with the hosting duties!
