Student Hunger Drive Kickoff 2016

The Quad Cities Student Hunger Drive (a six-week-long food drive from area high schools) kicked off tonight with the annual skit competition. As usual, my school performed a choreographed dance involving box movements to a parody of some song or another. After all nine entrants to the skit competition did their performances, there was - like last year - a tie, and it was the same tie as last year: us and a certain other school.

So both schools redid their respective skits. The tie was again to be broken by which skit received louder cheering. To be honest, I wasn't super optimistic: we lost last year because the competing school had brought a boatload of people to cheer. To my very happy surprise, two non-tied schools started cheering for us, quite loudly, and the referee announced that we won! That's two thousand pounds of food donated by Hy-Vee on behalf of us, giving us a good head start in the competition soon to come.
