Lights, Cameras and It's Showtime! - FINALS! Part II
Hey, sorry for not updating. I was down with loads of viruses. Ok, back to the updates. As I said earlier, I was at Mediacorp. Little Genie, along with the Cheer Group, left the school at roughly 10am. We had to reach Mediacorp at 11am. Upon reaching, it was full dress straight away. Both the Little Genie and the Cheer Group when into make up so that they could have the full dress rehearsal. Yes! There are rehearsals! So it went through the night till 6.
An hour to go before everything goes LIVE! All the groups were gearing up for the performance of their lives!
So as the clock counts down, Camera's are ready, Light's are set, Audience are seated....
"Producer"
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"It's Showtime!"
The show is on air, telecasted LIVE for whole of Singapore. First up was the Schools' Segment. As the Little Genie await their turn, everyone was rehearsing their lines the final time. Miss Fong & I burnt our fingers because of the Dry Ice.
We were on. The video clip played and we saw the team doing the props and stuff with Ben Yeo disturbing them. The clip ended with Mrs Chow giving the team words of encouragement! Cheer Team was up next. They had stunts! As everything was going on, video & cheers, we had a mad rush in setting up the props with the Mediacorp crew backstage. Buildings for Spiderman, River & Tree. The curtains were drawn. IT'S SHOWTIME!
Fires! Sparklers! Batman Flying! Spiderman Shooting Webs! Elastiman Stretching! Gummi Bear Farting! Woah! The judges, as always, gave us good comments & gave us the HIGHEST POINTS! 28.1! We got the highest for the Schools' Segment.
An hour passed, it was the results. CHEERTEAM WON! They earned themselves a Munchys $1000 cheque and a trophy! Little Genie got to the TOP 2 of the Schools' Segment! Moment of truth. After tons of voting, lightbulb flickering.
The lightbulb did not stop at the Little Genie. We Lost.
The group put in their outmost effort in getting so far. Bellyshaking to Kungfu Manual and now Superheroes. We are still winners. We got the highest for Judges Votes and that counts the most. We got to the FINALS and that is already no mean feat. Sadly, we did not garner enough votes from the viewers.
Reality sanked in. Most of the members broke down backstage. It was a sad sight. Mrs Chow & the teachers conforted them. Words can't explain the emotions that were there that night. We still got a trophy though. The team got to take a group photo with Ben and the producers with their trophy.
LITTLE GENIES, YOU DID GREAT! YOU GUYS ARE WINNERS, WINNERS IN THE EYES OF THE JUDGES! YOU DID WELL! TAKE CARE ALIGHT!
^^ ok i'm done. I just had to tell the story from my perspective. Hope it gives you guys an actual insight on what happened. Sorry if its draggy too. If you guys wanna see the Cheque and the Trophys, it is in the General Office.
Oh ya, before I forget -
