On June 2, Mineral Wells Junior High Student Council sponsored the Fourth Annual American Idol Junior Talent Show. As students came into the gym, music filled the air. It came from the sound of Dyess’s band. The band members were Jason Behrens on bass; Sam Waddy, lead singer; Kirk Watson, lead guitar; and Eric Dyess, math teacher, on drums. The student body was ready for an hour of entertainment featuring the talent of MWJH. There were a total of 16 acts including a variety of talents such as vocalists, karate demonstrations, dancers, instrumentalists and more. Dyess’ band played and a famous panel of judges were present to pick the finalists. From the finalists the student body chose the winners.
