Cabaret Night
Joe Settineri
This Saturday in the Homer High School’s gymnasium, an event took place. The versatile gym, a dance floor only the night before, became a stage for talented performers. Almost overflowing, the gym was filled with nervous excitement and the murmur of voices. As the music wafted throughout the warm air of the gymnasium, well dressed servers of delectable desserts and drinks circulated throughout the dense arena of tables and chairs. This was Cabaret Night, and it was a huge success! Not only did a crowd of over 200 fans show up for the performers, but the music was fantastic, with over twenty acts showing up to give it their best.
All of the performances were great, each being an original idea that resonated throughout the hardwood floors of the gym. Acts that really stood out included, The Fabulous Perfetti Boys, a vocal duet by Shannon Spencer and Robin Baumeister, Under The Sun, Grace Gugerty and Sophie Whittington’s ukulele duet, and the Homer High School Jazz Band. The Perfetti Boys were great with Joel playing guitar and David on the piano. The vocal duet was also fantastic and it left everyone wishing that the brothers had performed another song. Under The Sun, a high school rock band, also did well with members Zack Sovocool, Brenton Newcomb, Jack Bancroft, Robby Belton, and Joe Settineri all doing a great job. Grace Gugerty and Sophie Whittington did a fantastic job of serenading the audience in a beautiful way, with a good voice and some good ole ukulele playing. Of course not to be forgotten, the Homer High School Jazz Band had a powerful performance, as always, with all sections having a pronounced sound. This year’s Cabaret Night was a great success and will be even better if the audience increases in the coming years.
