The annual Mr. Sherwood event was held on March 28 in the Ertzman Theater with a sellout crowd of more than 1,000 people. 17 seniors volunteered to participate in the competition: Mike Crooks, Kevin Daly, Chris Katz, Noah Kieserman, Tobi King, Joe Lavoie, Vijay Mahabare, Martin Mueller, Clyde Noubissie, Jan Pasternak, Alec Perez, Ty Reeves, Julian Riley, Daniel Ryczek, Austin Tucker, Abdulai Turay and Cal Wilson. Reeves took third place and Keiserman was runner-up. The eight judges, consisting of Sherwood teachers, selected King as this year’s Mr. Sherwood winner. His talent consisted of an imitation, with Daly and Perez, of the boy-band ‘N Sync. They lip sang and danced to the songs “Bye Bye Bye” and “Tearing up My Heart.”

The contestants practiced every Tuesday and Thursday for a month. Poms members Lauralynn Heon and Katarina Stephanos, both juniors, did the choreography for the group dances and edited the songs for the participants. SGA sponsors, teachers Christine McKeldin and Catina Wist, helped organize the event, which raised close to $2,500 for a local charity.
