These photos are awesome. Makes me wish I could have attended! For others wishing they could have witnessed the immense youth talent pool in Ann Arbor, a student organization at Huron High School, Youth Impact, is organizing another high school talent show for Feb. 2. Check out this website and watch AnnArbor.com for a story coming up: http://youthimpactclub.com/category/youth-factor/.

Thanks so much for your coverage of our high schools' arts programming. This both encourages youth to get involved and helps to keep the community connected to its young artists!
