There’s no doubt about it: Southold’s Got Talent.

At the school auditorium on Friday night, Southold students lit up the stage with their considerable musical abilities. Eleven acts sang and played instruments to the delight of an enthusiastic audience. Several of the songs were original compositions written and performed by the students themselves.

As the judges took a bit more time than planned to choose the winners, the students seized the moment and performed several songs, including a unique version of “Hey Jude” led by Mark Moran and Connor Vaccariello.

Winners:

First Place —  Rachel Burns, Allie Lasot and Michaela Manno.

Second Place — Keaton Comiskey and Cora Small.

Third Place — Mark Moran and Connor Vaccariello.
