Trollstock--a Campus-wide Talent Show: Photogallery

More than 700 Trinity students, parents, and friends watched as students shared their talents on Saturday, November 3 at the annual Trollstock competition in the Ozinga Chapel. The event included traditional singing performances along with some unique acts.

The competition featured 21 different performances that were judged on their creativity, overall talent, and the audience’s response. The first-place winners “Sync or Swim” performed a synchronized “swimming” routine on stage.

One of the favorite acts every year is James Nelson, a security officer at the College. Nelson was not able to sing last year, so his return to the stage was especially anticipated. Nelson received the “Fan Favorite” award, based on audience response, after singing “Bridge over Troubled Water.”
