Due to current restrictions, the thinking caps were out in full force to come up with a way to have Showtime this year. As luck would have it last year marked 10 years since the inception of the show so it was decided to have a "Champion of Champions" winner. While it was not possible to have the acts back in school, we were in the lucky position to have high quality footage of the ten winners due to the skill and expertise of Panic -Hire and Murphy Video Service.
We were delighted to be able to give our Head and Deputy Head Prefects, Caitlin Connolly and Jim McGuirk, an opportunity to present the show, though through a very different platform. Thanks to the help of Rory McMahon and Matthew Macklin we were able to post a link to the show on Clones Notice Boards. This gave the public an opportunity to vote on who their favourite winning act had been from the last 10 years.
You can watch the show here:
Voting
Online vote accounted for 50% of the tally while the other 50% was comprised of votes from the current student body. Students got to view the show on Friday afternoon and then voted for their favourite.
Watch the results here:
While we hope to return to the traditional format next year, this version ensured that the Showtime tradition continued.
3rd Place - Mamma Mia
2nd Place - Katie Boyle and Catherine Sheridan
1st Place - Reeling in the Years
Well done to all.
