Middle School Talent Show Universals?

• Two best-friend girls lip-synching to a popular song wearing perfectly coordinated outfits so that one girl's shirt is pink, the other blue, one girl's shoes are blue, the other's pink, and so on.
  
• Another girl messing up in the middle of her song, stopping, saying, "I messed up," and then finishing the song.
  
• A ventriloquist act featuring bad jokes by a (slightly geeky) sixth grade boy and his puppet.
  
• At least one poem about not being understood.
  
• Parents recording the whole thing on (digital) video.
  

This was our first ever talent show. Next year, we're going to have a surprise performance by the staff. We weren't quite that coordinated this year.
