&#8220This is something new we are trying – an opportunity for parents, students and alumni to show off their talents and to come together in a fun way.”

Songstress Brittany Byrd took second place honors and a $75 cash prize, while the G-High Step Team received third place honors and a $50 cash prize.

Other performers included keyboardist-vocalist duo, Anthony and Aaron Coleman; vocalist Alex Cartwright, mother-daughter singing duo, Cheryl McNaughton and Tiffany Owens, vocalist Katie McGough, monologist Kris Ferguson and trumpeter Tyler Ray.

Prior to the talent show, Murphy encouraged parents present to become more involved in their children's education and to consider joining committees and/or contributing volunteer hours at the school.

&#8220Let us hear from you and know how you are willing to serve,” Murphy said.

&#8220You can come in and help us answer phones…make copies of papers…the volunteer opportunities are certainly here.”

Tables were set up in the lobby for parents wishing to join the school's PTO and those students wanting to sign up for tutoring for the upcoming Alabama High School Graduate Exam.
