Various St. Dominic’s students from grades 1-8 demonstrated superb talents playing instruments, dancing, singing, speaking and displaying their artwork. Attendees especially liked the informal “cabaret” style, the variety, and the “high energy in the contestants”.

“I …liked the casual atmosphere. The show wasn’t stuffy and formal, just fun!”
