“Now let’s hear it for the freshman, the sophomores, the juniors, and the seniors,” announced Principal Parks. This excited all students to cheer and yell out when their classes were addressed to. The pep rally was organized at the grand opening of our new stadium. This event was held on September 10, 2010 during the end of fourth period. Each student was to sit in the bleachers according to their grade level and class color. The freshman’s class color was yellow, sophomores were green, the juniors were orange, and the seniors were purple.

There was a lot of action that took place at the rally such as games, skits, and music. This allowed the crowd to be more pumped up and energized for the rally. A popular game that was played was the dancing contest. Students volunteered to come onto the field and their task was to dance to the song that was being played. But, the catch was that the song would change every 10 seconds. The changing in music allowed them to dance different genres, making the students in the crowd have a great laugh. Also, the dance 3-4 club performed a dance and so did the club Ritmo Caliente. A dance 3-4 club member, Ana Rodriguez, senior, said that, “It took us one week to practice this dance over and over. I also have body improvement so it was like exercising twice a day. It was very tiring, but it was all worth it and I had a great time dancing.” This club practiced a special dance just for the pep rally and the homecoming parade. They wanted to be more known as a club and not just an ordinary class.

After the games and dances, the three finalists of “You Think You Can Sing” came up to the front. They were to sing once more so the crowd could decide who would be the final winner. In the end, Chelsea Collura, senior, won the contest in which she had to sing the national anthem during the first home game. Since the first home game was going to take place that night, the football players were asked to also step up to the front. They were presented to the crowd so they could encourage them to win their first home game.

In the end, the rally was a success. Students left happy, football players left encouraged, and everyone together felt the pride to be a delta king or queen.
