Upper Mid Revue, an annual showcase for class members’ talents, was presented on Tuesday, November 18 in Walker Auditorium from 9-10 p.m. The event was co-hosted by George Ferrarone ’27 and Liv Oberman ’27, who were elected by the class. Upper Mid Class Presidents Helen Wood ’27 and Andrew Roraback ’27 assisted with planning.
Hosts Ferrarone and Oberman kept the audience engaged between acts and coordinated the flow of performances. Oberman said, “We wanted to make the event fun and have everyone enjoy it. We hoped to keep it light-hearted.”
This year’s Upper Mid Revue consisted of both filmed content and in-person segments. Video clips included 3 a.m. interviews in Tinker, Wieler, and Dana, along with a spin-the-wheel game in which Dana residents performed various dares in the library. For one dare, Roraback crawled around in circles while people were studying. Live acts ranged from dance performances to class Jeopardy, where contestants were quizzed on their knowledge about the grade.
Other moments included a game of “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader,” in which class members were asked elementary-level questions to test their basic knowledge. Proctors from Coy also endured a period cramp simulator.
Planning for this event took about three weeks, and included frequent class council meetings and help from Ferrarone, Oberman, Class of 2027 Dean Ms. Carita Gardiner, and Dean of Student Life Mr. Andrew D’Ambrosio. Wood and Roraback solicited proposals for acts and later selected those that would perform with the help of the Upper Mid class council.
