"And
it goes like this"
These are the words that everyone in the school's Imaterem
were singing along to on Saturday night, as Demkó Ferenc took the stage.
He shocked even the organizers with his slightly
unorthodox act!
As an English teacher, well known for his musical talent - no one
expected juggling!
You see, Sárospataki Református
Kollégium Gimnáziuma
hosted the first 'Refi's Got Talent!' parody talent show on Saturday 15th
December 2012. It was a night to remember for all whom attended. All for
different reasons maybe, but nonetheless, positive ones!
The 'Refi's Got
Talent!' stage saw everything from a South Korean style dance troupe to a
teacher who juggles like he recently escaped the circus!
The evening was
hosted by none other than Pándy-Szekeres Daniel and his brother Pándy-Szekeres
Aron.
They could not
have picked a better double act to carry the show from beginning to end. The
brothers kept everyone entertained in between performances and had great
chemistry with the judges.
The judging panel
was made up of Tóth Nikoletta (English and Maths teacher), Szabó Viktoria
(English and Hungarian grammar teacher) and Végh Balázs (School Financial
Advisor).
Nikoletta could
only be compared to Amanda Holden, with her ridiculously positive comments.
Viktoria held the tag of Simon Cowell superbly, with her soul crushing comments
to the students and her colleagues alike. Balázs acted as mediator - with some
hilarious comments to boot, comparable to Britain's very own, Piers
Morgan.
The place was
filled with laughter every time the Pándy brothers went to the panel for
comments.
There was a sense of unity between teachers and students and everyone left with a smile on their face at the end of the night.
The show was organized
by the 'Refi Revolution Team', the school's public relations group. This team
is made up of students and teachers, with the aim of being the voice and
face of the high-school.
Since its
inception, in October, the team has done an array of innovative and helpful
things for the school in a very short time.
'Refi's Got
Talent!' was their debut event and its mission was to raise funds for the
team's endeavors in the UK. They raised 13,445 HUF (38 GBP/61 USD).
All the money
raised will be put towards the costs to be incurred during February 2013, as they
wave bon voyage to the school's gates and travel to the United Kingdom.
In the UK, the
team will be working with Churches to publicize the school and raise awareness
of Refi's mission.
Also on their
agenda is the youth festival, set for April 2013, which will have Refi host an
all round showcase of talent from art, singing, dancing, creative writing... and so much
more, from youths all around the area of Sárospatak. It will be an open event
for all who wish to attend!
