Speech Choir Competition

Speech Choir and Ignite Competition

Ah the Speech Choir competition, so stressful. We didn’t have that much time to prepare for this competition since we had the floats to worry about and we also had projects to handle, but we still managed to do our very best.

We only had at least two weeks (?) to spare for practice and during those two weeks, most of the class aren’t really present for practice which leads us to accomplishing absolutely almost nothing. It’s a good thing that we finally got out stuff together and worked as a team.

Most of our problems were because we had nowhere to practice and we don’t want to risk other blocks seeing our presentations and stealing our movements, so we had to look for other places. This leads us to another blockmate’s home – which isn’t really that near and this causes yet another problem because another block that consists of only 6-7 students is merged with us and though it’s fine with us (ABMA 153) to go to other places because it’s already familiar to us, it’s not fine with the merged block because they haven’t been there before.

These problems could be resolved though, since we still practice for the speech choir during class hours which makes up lost time they consumed not being able to practice anywhere else.

Now on the day of the presentation, I think we weren’t really all that nervous, we just wanted it over with. Now don’t get me wrong, we are all excited to perform but we also know that we wouldn’t win against ECE and CPE since they won last time during the chants and cheers competition a while back.

And our predictions were right, ECE won the second place and CPE won the first place. Now we’re not being salty or anything here, we’re all happy for them. This experience serves as a lesson for us to learn, we had to just try harder the next time around. Besides, two of our blockmates won third place  and second place for the Ignite Speech and the Integrity Speech respectively.
