t’s always great to see young people getting onstage and performing at their school talent shows, whether they’re singing, dancing, or demonstrating the abilities they have elsewhere. And while every entrant into such events will likely deserve a round of applause just for getting up in front of their peers and doing their best, every so often you will catch a performance that blows you away, in that it demonstrates originality far beyond the years of the entrants.
One such performance was given by four fifth-grade boys back in 2017, who took part in the Elementary Talent Show at New Braunfels Christian Academy in Texas. The students began with a black cloth over them to keep their performance secret until the last minute. When the cloth was removed, it was revealed that the boys were all dressed in baby costumes with tiny false legs that they could control with their arms. The audience immediately burst into laughter – but this was just the beginning.
