Williamsburg’s Got Talent is coming to Williamsburg for the first time ever! With a year under the shadow of the COVID pandemic, which restricted access to a lot of events and activities that would usually occur within the Music Department, it has also brought light to the importance of the arts in our schools. The Williamsburg Music Boosters in support of the Music Department wished to give back some of that by shining a spotlight on our students in hosting a District Wide Talent Show. We’ve collected many talents and wonders from our students from grades K-2nd, 3rd-5th, and 6th-12th.

We asked for talent and WOW, did our kids deliver! The students worked really hard in preparing and submitting their entries. 107 in all were received from our very talented students and in a fantastic range of interesting and varied acts.

Trust us when we say it is worth your while to visit our website at www.williamsburgmusicboosters/williamsburgs-got-talent/ to view these performances! We have something for everyone: singers, artists, gymnasts, pianists, drummers, magicians, poetry Reciting, sign language, dancers, comedians, rappers, pet tricks, hoverboards, horseback riding, karate, baseball, softball, basketball skills, trampoline tricks, weightlifting, ukulele players, nature lovers, guitarists, violinists, recorder players, welding, and last but not least, beatboxing!

Online voting has ended, however we’re not done yet. This year, along with our Annual Craft Show. we will have the finalists of Williamsburg’s Got Talent featured throughout the day. Great care has been taken to make this event clean, safe, and socially distanced. Please come out to support music in our schools by enjoying the talents of our students while shopping for great finds at our unique craft show.

We would like to extend a gigantic THANK YOU to the community businesses for SUPPORTING THE ARTS IN WILLIAMSBURG!! Please join us in turn to support and patronize their establishments. You can hear more about our partners during our Craft Show on April 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Old High School at 141 S. Broadway, Williamsburg, Ohio 45176 where our finalists will be performing live throughout the day.
