Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a school talent show where a group of talented kids performed an unforgettable rendition of Bruno Mars' hit song "24k Magic". The energy and enthusiasm that these young performers brought to the stage was truly remarkable. From the moment the music started playing, they captivated the audience with their impressive dance moves and catchy choreography. The main idea of their performance was to showcase their passion for music and entertain the crowd with their vibrant personalities. As each member of the group took turns performing their solo parts, they showcased their individual talents while still managing to maintain a cohesive performance as a group. It was evident that these kids had put in countless hours of practice and rehearsals in order to perfect their routine.

One of the aspects that stood out the most about their performance was their incredible stage presence. Despite their young age, they exuded confidence and charisma, which was infectious and had the entire audience cheering and dancing along.

Professor, students hoping Delta will offer COTA degree
The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant program will be cut this fall.
In accordance with the LA Grad Act, all associate degree programs will be cut from universities and transferred to community colleges.
Part of the act aims to increase the number of associate degree programs at community colleges.
“It is always sad to lose a program. I, personally, am in my 21st year teaching in this program, and it is hard to see it end,” said Patti Calk, head of the occupational therapy program.
“However, we are proposing an occupational therapist program specifically designed for working occupational therapist assistants.”
Those currently enrolled in the program and those admitted for the summer session will be allowed to complete their degrees at ULM.
Calk said the department is talking with Delta Community College about continuing the program there.
Calk said ULM will keep its pre-occupational therapy assistant curriculum, and the department will help students with the prerequisite courses transfer to Delta to get the degree.
“Due to cuts in state funding for academics, we want to make judicial decisions that best utilize the funds that we have available,” Calk said.
Calk also said they want to offer a master’s program in occupational therapy because of the local need for occupational therapists. Also, they want to create this program in case Delta cannot pick up the associate degree program.
“Our occupational therapist assistants alumni and the healthcare community in the area have asked for us to offer that degree since there is a high demand for occupational therapists in the area,” Calk said.
Some ULM students are upset by the department cuts, especially those seeking a spot in the program.
“I feel like this is a major disappointment. ULM’s COTA program is the best in the region. Their graduates are hired over any other schools,” said Michael Roboski, a sophomore earth science major.
“It’s a field I was really hoping to get into, but now it just won’t be an option anymore since this coming class is the last one they will be accepting,” Robsoki said.
Their enthusiasm was contagious and it was clear that they genuinely enjoyed performing and sharing their talents with others. Moreover, the intricate dance routine they had put together showcased their ability to stay in sync and execute complex moves with precision. From the energetic opening sequence to the synchronized hip-hop choreography, each movement was executed with a level of professionalism that was impressive for their age. It was clear that they had worked hard to perfect their routine and it paid off in their flawless performance. The powerful vocals and harmonies displayed by the kids further elevated their performance. Each member had a chance to showcase their singing talents, and they did so with great confidence and skill. The way their voices blended together during the chorus and the way they harmonized during the bridge were some of the standout moments of the performance. The main idea of this performance was to highlight the dedication, talent, and passion of these young performers as they brought Bruno Mars' "24k Magic" to life on stage. Their energy, stage presence, dance skills, and vocal talents left a lasting impression on everyone in the audience. It was a reminder that age is just a number when it comes to passion and talent, and that these kids have a promising future ahead of them in the world of performing arts..
Reviews for "The Future of Dance: Kids Mastering Bruno Mars' 24k Magic"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the performance of "Kids performing 24k magic". The kids seemed more focused on their choreography than actually singing the song. Their voices were often off-key and they lacked the energy and charisma that the original song has. It felt like a poor attempt to recreate the original song and it fell flat.
2. Mike - 2 stars
I had high expectations for "Kids performing 24k magic" but was left unimpressed. The kids lacked the necessary vocal range to pull off the song and it was evident in their performance. The choreography, although cute, was not enough to make up for their lackluster vocals. Overall, I found it to be quite underwhelming and not worth the hype.
3. Emily - 1 star
"Kids performing 24k magic" was a complete letdown. The kids seemed completely out of sync with each other, both in terms of their dancing and singing. Their voices were strained and it was clear they were struggling to keep up with the song. It felt more like a forced performance rather than a passionate rendition of the original. I was highly disappointed and would not recommend it.
4. John - 2 stars
I was expecting a fun and energetic performance from "Kids performing 24k magic" but it fell short. The kids seemed shy and uncertain on stage, resulting in a lack of enthusiasm and energy. Their voices were shaky and often drowned out by the music, making it difficult to fully enjoy the performance. It lacked the wow factor that I was hoping for and left me wanting more.

I really did not enjoy "Kids performing 24k magic". The kids seemed inexperienced and lacked the vocal control needed to tackle such a dynamic song. Their voices were often off-pitch and it was clear they were struggling to hit the high notes. The overall performance felt forced and uncomfortable. It was definitely not a memorable rendition of the song and I would not recommend it to others.
