With singing, dancing, and a $300 grand prize, the students of LBCC kicked off spring break than with the annual Spring Sing talent show.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were many performances throughout the afternoon of April 4, so there was no shortage of entertainment for the event that had a large turn-out.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acts during the show were put on by both group and solo performers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many awards were given at the end of the night, including plaques to every participant who was brave enough to showcase their talents.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the awards throughout the night included best performance, best costume, best solo vocals and best group vocals.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One audience member and student, Omar Martinez was surprised at the talent on display.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting those amazing vocals from some of these performers,\u201d Martinez said.

The one award that everyone was paying attention to was Best Overall Performance, which was given to Christina Armendariz for her ukulele and singing act.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paired with a large trophy to take home, was also a $300 dollar grand prize scholarship.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis whole event was really amazing,\u201d said Armendariz as she was walking off the stage, just winning the top award for the night.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being asked if she had any advice for any future participants, Armendariz was quick to reply.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t think you have to have experience\u2026 if your passionate about it do it anyway.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other acts included \u201cPrincess Camping Quest\u201d from the Ladies of Athena, \u201cJust Breathe\u201d from the Architectural Student Association, and a stunning performance of \u201cBefore It\u2019s Over\u201d by Shannon Wynn.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessie Villalta, a student at LBCC, commented, \u201cEveryone did great, but my favorite performance of the night was the Ladies of Athena,\u201d Villalta said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the third Spring Sing event Villalta has been to.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in it since the spring of 2017,\u201d Villalta said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
