The road show will be in April rather than February this year. The road show is a central high school event that happens annually around the end of the school year. The road show is a talent show where students can sign up to show their talent to an audience of people. Anyone at Central high school can sign up, they must have a contract signed by their parents and themselves which is the only requirement. 

Drama director Scott Mead is the director of the show and the whole performing arts department teachers take a big part in planning and preparing for the show. The road show has lots of singing, dancing, instrumental acts, skits, and varieties of other acts “I just love seeing what the students of central have to offer,” Choir Director Sara Cowan said. Auditions will have a group of judges that anonymously give points and at the end they tally up the scores and choose who will be part of the show. 

Aiden Ramirez, a Junior at Central high school, is only 16 years old and is part of four acts including a K-pop act, an act for the step team at central, and two acts for his choir class. Ramirez did the road show last year as a sophomore. “I had a really fun experience with those acts alone and I wanted to do something like this again because it’s so much fun and in general I just love to perform,” Ramirez said. Ramirez has loved to sing and dance since he was a kid, so the road show is a good chance for him to show off his incredible talents “always something I’ve had since I was growing older and it just kind of stuck with me,” Ramirez said. For class acts Ramirez practices with his group and for other acts he stays after school to practice in preparation for auditions and the show.  

Ramirez is most excited to perform with his friends and show his talent to everyone in the crowd “generally showing the crowd a good show, I remember last year the crowd really loved our performance,” Ramirez said. 

The road show will be April 26 at 7 p.m. and 27 at 2 p.m. and another show at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Central high school tickets for this event will be $10 for adults and $8 for students.
