The show will include young performers from Farwell Middle School who will be performing for their first time ever as well as High School students who have performed on the Variety Show, and on other stages, for years. Of course we will also have quite the array of adults performing alongside the students - all the way from people who just simply love to share their love of music performance to professional musicians who have songs on the top 10 charts on radio stations and musicians who are actively performing on stages all over Michigan! Now don't be Careless and miss amazing acts like Jamison playing his Saxophones! The SonBeam Puppet group will be performing as will a ventriloquist and Cassidy will be performing a piece using sign language! Stacy will be performing on the piano and Stephanie will be doing some lumberjack tunes! We have The Lake Family Band performing some pop music. Tustyn Yarger along with his band Clueless will be bringing us a little country music. Tamara Mackie, Emilee Wyatt, Iyllandrya Segraves-Grant, Dylan and Brian Woodman and other people will be singing some rock, pop and all sorts of music. Matt Moore will be back again this year as well! Dancers like Hannah Taylor will be joined by groups from Newmans School of Dance and Steppin' Up Dance Studio. The Red Hat Ladies are coming back as well! Farwell HS Alumni such as Uriah and Jess Lange and Dan Lake. This show gives the young amateurs to the seasoned professionals a chance to perform and support each other. It also gives students and adults a chance to learn what it is like to support a live show by being a part of the tech crew running lights, sound and managing the stage not to mention helping sell tickets, run concessions and managing all the front door details. The show will of course be taking place in the Jaime Performing Arts Center at Farwell High School. Tickets will be $6 for students, $8 for adults. This year you also have the chance to purchase premium seating that comes with the chance to sit front and center in comfortable seats that will include free popcorn all night long!
