CAMDEN — Singers, dancers, musicians...even a magician, a comedian, a hula-hooper and a pair of gymnasts. Camden-Rockport Middle School boasts myriad talent, and it’s not just of the math and English varieties.

Just after lunch on May 27, parents and C-RMS students gathered in the gymnasium for an assembly. It was time for the annual Variety Show, and the talent that was about to step up to microphones and the floor kept the audience entertained.

More than 20 acts of all sorts were on the roster, and for this age group, it was no small feat to stand before classmates and parents and perform. But no matter the key, or if nerves seemed to be creeping in, the reassurance from peers and family kept everybody on task until the last note note or step.

Check out the videos and candid photos, and see who you recognize. One day, these young people will go on to greatness. It’s only a matter of time.
