The NCV Factor


After the success of NCV Talent Night earlier in semester, the talented people of NCV reconvened with another event to showcase the depth and breadth of talent in the NCV community.  Residents were treated to an extravaganza of solo and group performances, including singing, dancing, singing, juggling, singing, rap, and, in the words of the comperes Robindro Chatterji and Monish Maharaj, more singing! NCV residents Tamara Certain, Juan Lyn Ang, Ria Dev, Ahsan Kabir Murad and Rhonda Siu performed solos from artists as diverse as Shakespeare’s Sister and Christina Perri, while the NCV Band gave a sterling rendition of Train’s “Drops of Jupiter”. Erin Hauer and Natalia Novozhilova performed dance solos, while Cecilia White delivered a recital of her own poetry.



The NCV Choir sang Fun’s “We are Young” with great gusto, and Theresa Crossing and Wangari Muchiri performed a duet, as did Joni Mok and Kanayarat Sanoran. Comperes Robindro Chatterji and Monish Maharaj performed an astonishing rap rendition of “Fox in Socks”, a special tribute to the Dean’s daughter who turned 1 the day before.  Long time friend of NCV Stephen Chikazaza gave another wonderful vocal performance, while Michael Sturm braved a soccer injury to perform with the band in the final item of the night, announcing by text that “I will perform!”  The Master presented thank you gifts to all involved, noting the incredible amount of work put into the evening by everyone, especially by residents Pesila Ratnayake and Shamila Vijayamanohar. We are already looking forward to NCV’s Got Talent in 2013!

As usual Frank the Penguin made an appearance
