One More Chant

Yehey! Our BIG efforts paid off.

For the last few days, we've been practicing [the hardest! XD] for jazz chant.There were a lot of changes done just to make it last for 8 minutes. It's my first time to join a contest like this. It's very limited. I mean, it's movements are limited, also the way of chanting it. At last, the day has come. For such a long time, I got those nerves again. My heart beats 20X faster. It's a good thing we were Contestant #3. We can perform early so that we will feel the relief.

As our number was mentioned, we went to the stairs and we don't know how to start. We lost that part, we were not synchronized for the entrance but as it continues, we can feel the satisfaction that we're doing well through our audience's response. We can see their smiles. "Thank you Contestant #3" said the announcer and the audience clapped thunderously. We felt really happy because our efforts paid off and our audience was satisfied. That performance was for Him and I wish we made Him satisfied.

After changing our costumes, we got nice feedbacks from the audience. It relieved us from the question "Whad did the audience think of our performance?" As the results were announced, we're so quiet because we're so nervous. Many of us won. Jestine(1st place-Spelling Bee), Emman(2nd place-Oral Reading), Ate Kathleen(3rd place-Declamation), and Christian(4th place-Oration). As the results for the jazz chant competition is announced, oyr hearts beat faster. "The best among the rest-Cavite National Science High School!" the announcer said. We shouted to the top of our lungs. We were very happy and very grateful because Ma'am Mae did not give up on us and I thank God for He guided us. Yepyep!! Wohoo!!
