“The thing I enjoy most about the talent show is when a student comes along who I’m not familiar with, and they get up there and they have a great talent,” Mira Costa principal Dr. Ben Dale said.

“We thought entering the talent show would be a good opportunity to expose ourselves and get some experience,” lead singer Dylan Lenz said.

This year’s judges were Head of ASB finance Donna Cessor, CSF adviser and science lab assistant Karen Cunningham, art teacher Amber Dixon, AP psychology teacher Aaron Kofahl and Vice principal Jon Shaw.
