On Saturday, April 18, a total of 18 gifted and entertaining acts performed in the EGUSD Student Talent Showcase at the Cosumnes Oaks High School Performing Arts Center. 

The showcase – a special EGUSD 50th Anniversary event that raised money for student scholarships – gave some of the top student performers in the district the opportunity to show off their talents in a friendly competition.

In the end, the top acts in four categories (K-3, 4-6, 7-8 and 9-12) were recognized on stage.  The top four acts were:

The winners of the Student Talent Showcase were decided by three judges: William Lugg, Jr. – EGUSD Board President, Katie Rogers – ENCORE! Studio of Performing Arts and Roy Herburger – Herburger Publications.

The audience at the talent showcase also had the chance to have their say in voting for their favorite acts through the People’s Choice Award.  Two People’s Choice Award winners were chosen – one from the elementary grades (K-6) and one from the secondary grades (7-12).
