There were so many different, exciting acts ranging from magic, dance, singing, freestyle rap to a cappella including the UBC Thunderbird Dance Team (TDT) shown above. The show was kicked off by a rousing magic and illusionist act from Pauline Kong.

My favourite act was probably Class Act, an awesome freestyle and beatbox rap trio that wowed us with their non-assuming, quick rhymes and delivery.

My fellow judges and I had a very difficult time ranking and deciding what acts were the best, because of all the talent displayed. It was very hard to compare such different forms of performance as well.

I really enjoyed Amie Yoshitake and Carlo Enage's crazy rendition of Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc.", especially Carlo's maniacal cackle.

The CVC events department, especially department head Joanna Yang, did a great job organizing and executing the event. The show was seamless and featured a variety of performance acts well spaced throughout the evening.
