On Thursday the 4th of July 2013, the Senior Syndicate had a variety show. The order of the performances went, Room 4, Room 5, Room 3 then Room 2. The show was at the Nayland College hall. We were doing it to entertain lots of people that came to see us perform amazing shows. The theme was Saturday night at the movies, but really, I thought it should’ve been Thursday night at the movies.
Firstly, when it was our turn we went down the stairs and into the staff room. Mr Davis said “If we make a mistake just pick yourself up and get on with the show, because the crowd doesn’t know what we’re doing.” He gave us jelly beans just before the show started. When the other class had finished, which was room 5, we went up some stairs and onto the stage. There were 5 groups: Lord of the Rings, Avatar, Avengers, Transformers and Alice in Wonderland. We got behind a curtain, then Anna and Quaid got to sit on the couch to start the show, but Mr Davis thought our show was more like a production. Then the enormous curtain opened. After Anna and Quaid did their little starting talk, Ilaria came out from the curtain and said ‘You’re joking, there’s no way the Transformers are better than the Lord of the rings. We’ll see about that, yep it’s on now.’
Secondly, Jasmine did her speaking part and introduced our groups, oops I nearly forgot, our title for our variety show was battle of the Mega Movies. The order of the introduction went Alice in Wonderland, Avatar, Avengers, Transformers and Lord of the Rings. After a while, everyone went onto the stage staying in their groups. Eventually Alice in Wonderland did their dance. After they did their dance, all the groups did a speaking part. I had to say ‘We are truly the greatest movie and like you we have stood the test of time as a truly great book.’ Lord of the rings was the second group to do their dance, then the Transformers did their dance. Then the paparazzi did their job [Quaid and Diego] while the Lords and Transformers slowly, but not too slowly, walk to their curtains.
Thirdly, the Avengers did their dance and walked to a spot and pretended to knock down Avatar’s home tree. Avatar began to get completely furious and got into position to start their dance. I have to admit Avatars dance was pretty good, I don’t think they liked only having one little clap, but its better than no clap at all.
Finally we got to the end of the performance and we all got out onto the stage, got ready to do our whole class dance and LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! ‘STANDING IN THE HALL OF FAME. That was the end. We all slowly walked off stage and went back where we all started, in the classroom.
