Sac High Rally

Sac High students were the total opposite of vivacious. Febuary 11, 2011 the basketball rally took place in the big gym, also known as the Dave Hotel pavillion. This rally was revolved around the basketball players, and shining the light on the them and their achievements. However, this rally was one of the most boring rallies, in SacHigh history, or as the students will say “WACK”. There were multiple activities in throughought the rally that only involved basketball players, giving the audience of about 1000 students sat in their hard, wooden, bleachers with nothing to do. The DJ Nathan French, senior class of 2011 played a good variety of music, but here was a lot of lows on the student participation level. One game that was great, that caught our attention was the “Cold Butt” game. “Popular” students from each class sat in black chairs in each corner of the gym. Not knowing, what was come to be, each participant had to sit in the chair and not get up throughout the whole rally, and halfway into the rally bags of ice was placed under their rear ends, as well as on top of their heads. This little form of entertainment kept the audience slightly on the ends of their seats. Another part of the rally, was a performance by Dance 1 and Dance 2, classes taught by Mrs.Chantou. The all girl group of about 12 students danced to the popular songs, “Cat Daddy by The Rejectz, “Shake it Like A Pom Pom by Missy Elliot, and the new song by Lil Wayne
“6 Foot 7 Foot”. This performance was original and fun, however the performance was at the end of the rally, giving the seniors another reason to not want to sit through it. To top off everything else , emcee Misster Chapel states, “Concluding our rally, don’t forget to come out to the girls basketball game as well as the dance, which starts at 7p.m.” Now what does this have to do with the rally you ask, soon after, the junior class starts to exit the gym, the senior class son follows behind. Viciously, activity coordinator Kevin Hood grabs a mic and says,“The rally is not over!!” The clock has striked 3:58, school ending at 4p.m., is this such a problem? Very disappointed with the senior class Hood decides there may be a consequence for thr “planning of the rally walk out”. This goes to show how much the school is so into students staying at school rather than their boredom at school rallies, which is a highlighted topic in meetings.
