Star Search

SOM has something called the Internship Fund, which is a student-run effort to raise money (from other students) to supplement the sometimes-meager wages earned at nonprofit summer internships. Throughout the year, there are various fundraising efforts, among the most fun being Star Search, a talent show.

I participated as a piano accompanist in last year's show, in two acts, but this year I had the pleasure of just watching. It was a good show -- a few singing medleys, some dancing and some humor. In school we often don't get to see one another's talents, so this is a good showcase. More importantly, it was a fun time.

Perhaps my favorite entertainment of the evening was a series of videos that played between skits. Unfortunately, the inside jokes will be lost on people who don't go to SOM, but nevertheless here are links to parts 1, 2 and 3 if you're curious.
