Thirty - one acts performed to the delight of a packed audience at Jones Primary School. Originating in 1990, the Show of Excellence is a showcase of Asheville City Schools student and faculty talents held in the spring of each year.
Talent ranges from singing to acrobatics, from skits to magic performances.
A popular event, the show plays to a packed house each year and has included a tap-dancing school board in the past. The May 2001 show had a cast of 162.
