"Winterfest"

Today, my high school held it's winter pep rally. This comes as the culmination of the winter "spirit week", which involves various dress up days. This time they were: Pajamarama on Monday, Clash Day on Tuesday, Twin Day on Wednesday, Inside Out Day on Thursday, and the traditional Red and White Day (represnting our school colors) for the pep rally. There are also a set of unofficial senior dress up days that are perhaps a bit more interesting: Senior Citizen Day on Tuesday, Gangsta Day on Wednesday, and Secret Service Day on Thursday, while Friday is still Red and White Day.

Overall, I found the pep rally to be mediocre. I play in the pep band, which does alright. The highlight of the assembly is the performance of my high school's show choir, which goes by the name of Vintage. Afterward, the assembly goes downhill: our "Cheer and Dance Team" shows off their abysmal cheerleading skills (probably the worst in the Fox Valley if not all of Wisconsin) and a class competition is held. This assembly's competition, was "Whipped Cream Hangman", which isn't really a form of hangman at all. Contestants from each class run up to their class's table, picks up a magnetic letter with their mouth out of a pie pan filled with whipped cream and runs back with it. When all of the letters are recovered, the team needs to unscramble the word that they make up.

Other than that, today was just a normal day with slightly shorter classes.
