Hats Off to Banner Lake

This sold-out event took place on April 8th at the Pelican Club, where 300 guests gathered for an unforgettable evening of entertainment and community spirit.

Despite the rainy weather, guests showed their unwavering support for the Banner Lake school and community. The evening began with a lively cocktail hour, giving attendees time to mingle before dinner and the show.

Students delighted the crowd with performances, dressed in red and black flapper outfits and dancing to upbeat, fun songs that set the tone for the night.

After dinner was served, the entertainment continued with Magic by Mio, a world-class magician and mentalist. Mio captivated the audience with interactive performances that invited guests to participate throughout the show. He even provided cards so everyone could learn and perform their own card tricks. Participants ripped cards—and even tossed some on the ground—only to watch in amazement as they were able to bring the two halves of the original card back together.

The excitement continued as volunteers joined Mio on stage, helping him guess cards, select numbers, and even open a FedEx package that astonishingly matched a volunteer’s answer. For his grand finale, Mio borrowed a bill from a guest, levitated it, and after a series of mind-bending moments, revealed it inside a freshly sliced orange.

It was the perfect way to showcase a little magic for the very people who make the magic happen every day at Banner Lake.
