The Beginning of the Final Year of Midnight Rave

Fortunately enough, Midnight Rave was included in this month's Devil's Advocate issue. What's more? I somehow made it to the front cover! Ya...not exactly the best picture of me, but I feel that the picture itself is making a statement. For years, Midnight Rave has to walk under the shadow and be pushed around by school-sponsored programs. Now, with us becoming noticeable enough to make it into the school magazine, I believe we will finally deserve some respect for what we do and enjoy.

I am really happy about the following features of the article:

1) It includes the fact that revealed the limitation of our practice ground.
2) It features the truth from last year's ethnic fair in the time line.
3) It attempts to draw new recruit(s).

Honestly, I am a tired of being constantly removed from the cafeteria, where we always practice. Well, I can't really argue that we should stay when the football team needs to use the cafeteria for the team meeting. However, when we resort to the 40 x 40 in the field house, it extremely irritates us that we are not allowed to utilize it, even though it is not occupied at this time of the year. The teacher uses the excuse that he doesn't want us to "get hurt". Honestly, I do not see how practicing on the 40 x 40 is ANY SAFER than practicing on cement floor. Since we can't really argue for the access of 40 x 40 due to the lack of a sponsor, we constantly have to risk our necks and bones to learn moves. Ah well, no pain no gain, as people always say.

Now to address number 2....ya...I did not intend for it to be published because it seems like a direct attack on Sra. Pohlman, who I deeply respect and like. However, it is still true that we only had one afternoon to make up a routine for the event in the following day. We would like to make sure that stuff like that will NEVER happen again....

As the article mentiond, Midnight Rave is really lacking new members. It would be such a shame to terminate Midnight Rave after us...afterall, we did promise the precedents that we would continue the tradition....*sigh*

Well, at least we are about to have our debut of the year on Monday! 2nd official appearance in the pep rally! Can't really say the timing is good because SAT II is also happening on Saturday, leaving us almost no time to prepare even though they did give us a few days ahead of notice....

Ah well, we will do what we can. Midnight Rave ftw!
