Senior Show. The spirited event that the students of Marblehead High School enjoy as they watch the senior class dazzle the audience. All proceeds go to the senior class to assist in funding an assortment of projects such as the senior prom, class gifts, and other class expenses. This year, we had the hilarious hosts James Achterhof and Gavin Lepler, who led us through roughly ten acts filled with laughs and gasps. From the ever anticipated Ex’s Musical Chairs, to the lovely a cappella performances of Marblehead High School’s Luminescence and Jewel Tones, the audience was left starry-eyed. When this writer collected attendees’ thoughts on the show, it was discovered that the consensus for the favorite act was Scarlett Kindle’s “Teachers as Cheese” presentation. During that time, everyone was in stitches as Mx. K was dubbed spray cheese, Mr. Scoglio as string cheese, and Mr. Wilkins as burrata. All in all, a fabulous show!
Finally, it was time for the ultimate event…the pie eating contest. The event was a first for the Senior Show, and it resulted in its nine contestants eating pie “the good ol’ pie-eating contest way.” Within three minutes, we crowned our winner with Dante Genovesi taking home the pie hat crown. When asked to comment on his victory he simply said, “Do I have regrets? Absolutely! But I 100% would do it all again.” So would we, Dante, so would we.
