15 - ERC DAY 2

The second day of ERC Culminating Activity was the SoM Speech Choir. Wherein different student from different courses coming from the School of Management would compete with the masterpiece of Edgar Guest entitled "At Christmas" which is really in line with the season because Christmas was approaching back then. 


At first, our block didn't know that the competition was fast approaching because none of our professors informed us. In fact, we didn't even know what piece are we going to use. Good thing Miss Nina had a glimpse of asking us if we have already had our practice regarding on the said competition. Of course, all of us were in a state of shock for we haven't heard of it yet. So, we asked Miss Nina about all the details we need for the said competition. 

Having a speech choir is not new for us anymore because we already had it when we were in our high school. On the first day of our practice, suggestions were made. Brainstorming and planning on what were supposed to do to make our presentation a good one. Of course, who would want a crappy presentation. 

Problems of course are always present when it comes to planning.. we have to weigh in the pros and cons if we consider a certain props or action that we will take in for our presentation. We had many suggestions that it had overwhelmed our assigned leaders for they don't know anymore what to take in and what to slash out. That even on the last day of our practice, they push through another new action or props.

On the very last day of our practice, we had our discussion about what should we wear. First, we considered wearing pajamas for our setting would be like the night before Christmas. But then some of our fellow classmates doesn't have their pair of pajamas and of course we have to consider that because we wouldn't want a "costy" presentation. So we came up on a mainstream idea of wearing a united color which is red and black pants for boys and black skirts for girls. I know black is always a good idea but.. okay.

The competition day came we were so nervous about our presentation for we are the only ones who aren't that prepared because we crammed. But it is okay, what's important is we enjoyed what we did. We're still cute though.
