Episode Details

Anthony Godfrey:
Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. Each year, all of our high schools rally for some really great causes and have a lot of fun in the process.

On this episode of the Supercast, we bring you to Bingham High School, where students are taking the stage as part of the Mr. True Blue talent show. Find out what the tradition of Bingham's True Blue charity drive is all about and who they are helping this year.

We are here with Brenna Miller at Bingham High School in the last moments before the beginning of Mr. True Blue. Will you introduce yourself, talk about your role with this, and help everyone understand what Mr. True Blue is all about?

Brenna Miller:
Yeah, of course. My name is Brenna Miller. I'm the senior class president this year at Bingham. Mr. True Blue is the biggest event of our entire True Blue season. It's where a bunch of senior boys come together, they prepare, and then they perform in a beauty pageant. It's one of the most favorite events of True Blue. It's really widely attended. It's really fun for everyone to get together and kind of just laugh. Everyone gets to dress up when they come, which is a fan favorite. Everyone wears their prom dresses and nice suit and ties. We all come and watch the senior boys perform.

Anthony Godfrey:
Now, there are a number of categories I assume in which they will be performing. Can you tell me about those categories and how all the scoring works?

Brenna Miller:
Yes, of course. We bring back judges, whether that be administration, teachers, and student government from previous years. It's no one that's still in high school. They come back and they'll watch the boys perform in an interview portion, which is based on questions that they've answered in a packet earlier on. They had to apply, they had to raise money in order to get into the package.

Anthony Godfrey:
So there's already been a cut made?

Brenna Miller:
Yes, there has been.

Anthony Godfrey:
This is the elite tonight?

Brenna Miller:
Of course, yes.

Anthony Godfrey:
Okay.

Brenna Miller:
So they'll interview. The judges will ask them a couple questions. They'll get to answer, talk about maybe their platform issue that they've discussed in their interview packet. And then after that, they're going to do a runway portion where they're going to show off their best evening wear, whether that be suit and tie or whatever they have in mind. But Mr. Dave, our student government advisor, and also he's over theater, built us a really nice runway this year with lights and everything. So we're really excited to show that off.

Anthony Godfrey:
Wow, that's awesome.

Brenna Miller:
And then after that, they do a Christmas wear portion. So they'll do the runway one more time, but in their best Christmas outfit, 'tis the season. And then they'll end with a talent portion. So talents can range from whatever you want. We've had in past years, we had a boy deliver a pizza. He worked at Domino's and he felt like that was his big talent. We've had boys sing songs they wrote, original songs. And we've had boys make guacamole. Whatever they feel like they're talented at, they can perform.

Anthony Godfrey:
Wow. I'm glad that you welcome all talents.

Brenna Miller:
Yes, anything they want to do, the funnier, the better.
