On Thursday, March 3^rd 2011, students, their parents and even teachers gathered in the auditorium to witness Paint Branch’s incredibly gifted students in what we call PB Idol.  The show included singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, and even stepping, and each performance showed each person’s talent in a way that the audience couldn’t help but clap to. The most popular performance, with both the school and the judges- Mr. White, Mr. Goldsmith and Mrs. Blighton- was winner Bummah Ndeh singing “Super(natural)” by Miguel Jontel  with Robert Johnson on guitar. The other performers included The Heavenly Steppers, Erica Atkins, Japji Bindra and Jwesi Adoko, Jeffrey Wilson, Jenny Pae and Chelsea Conrad, Brandon Fraser and Eugene Dankwa, Rachel Poole, Jenny Keane and Oma Akuya, Mwewa Sumbwe, Ahmed Fahker, Grace Rhoads and Will Chavez with Sundi Myint, Robert Rhoads, Philip Gayle and Will Toll, Haley Hackett, and Victoria Stewart with Ariam Tesfai and Gabbie Webb. Each performance achieved high praise from the audience and the judges, and even a few performances caused the audience to stand on their feet and cheer. The show was definitely a crowd pleaser, and a great showcase of talented Paint Branch students, so if you missed it, be sure to see the next show…or better yet, try out yourself!
