2005 Miracle Yearbook

On Friday, February 4, the DMC was transformed to echo a NASA theme for Alpha Chi's 38th Annual Talent Show. From the moment students walked into the chapel, they encountered a giant rocket and listened to a live DJ spinning techno music.This was simply a warm-up for the incredible talent that was about to take off. Dr. Brown and his son Alex emceed the event. The father-son duo provided witty banter, gave out prizes, and Alex even treated the audience to an impressive breakdancing performance Dr.Brown and Alex did a great job of entertaining the audience between acts by asking some very unique questions for gift certificates to certain hotspots around Cedarville A man who had a car mileage of 385,000 miles,a young woman with a 90 year-old car,and a Cedarville student who lived in 16 states, among others, won these prizes. This year's AX talent show presented a unique group of contestants. There were eight total acts, and each one presented a unique style and feel. Everything from jugglers to beat-boxers to "Amazing Grace" competed for the 400 dollars in prizes Winning both the prize of most unique and third place,The Shindig Showmen(Josh Geiser, Philip Buben,and Chris Byus) were pleasantly surprised. Sophomore Philip Buben,speaking for the trio, explained that their intention wasn't to win money. He said that "although having people vote for us was an honor, our goal had nothing . to do with winning or getting a place We just wanted to give God glory by using our talents, to entertain everyone who came out, and to have a blast putting on a solid Juggling show." CU Vibe,a group of eight male singers,won second place with their rendition of You Look Wonderful Tonight. Sophomore Michael Feller explained how the group was going to spend the winnings."$100 split eight ways can only go so far but we all like to eat,so going out seemed reasonable." The star and winner of the Alpha Chi Talent Show wasfreshman Justin Wells, who wowed the audience with an electrifying guitar solo. When asked what he planned on doing with the generous prize money he said, "I will probably be using my winnings to take care of my essential needs while my parents are away in Romania That way they don't have to try to send money to take care of me." Special guest Jared Campbell impresses the crowd with his musical skill. "The show was a dazzling array of unique and diverse talent that had me tapping rIlY toes and wishing I could only join the circus...or become a break dancer," said freshman Mallory Fisher Rob Reid and Kate McKallagat sing "Someday We'll Know." McKallagat later noted involved,and I thought everyone did a fabulous job!" 244 Spring
