Would you like more evidence of how BIZARRE my school is?

Picture this: it is my all-girls' school's 125th Anniversary on Thursday. Many girls are playing instruments at the concert to celebrate. All are singing O Fortuna, a song at some ungodly pitch that will either be really, really good or absolute crap and a song written especially for our school. The music to this piece is awesome. Really, the chords and harmonies and choir bits? Although in Latin and a leetle pretentious, very nice.

But the words.

We are the quiet acheivers
We are the guiding hand
The future guadians of this wide and fragile land
With years of knowledge behind us
And light to guide our way
We have the power to change
Tomorrow today

Yeah. I know. Don't even let me begin to disect it, I'm sure you can do that by yourself.

Here is a translation of it:

We are the only people able to solve Global Warming and we're going to do it in Latin, bitch.

BUT because the darling music department who has worked wonders on this concert wants us all to sing beautifully, they have decided to not let us strain our voices for the two days leading up to the concert.

Unfortunately, the Athletics Carnival is tomorrow, two days prior to abovementioned concert.

Oh no! What are the music department to do?

I KNOW

Let's ban cheering from the Athletics Carnival Event so the precious girls won't strain their voices!

But how will we judge who wins the Spirit Cup, normally awarded to the hosue with the most enthusiasm and the best cheers?

SOLUTION!

Silent cheering.

The girls can make synchronised movements and not a word!

It's brilliant!

So quiet we might be able to hear a pin drop!

It will be smashing!

Yes. You heard correctly. Silent. Cheering.

Hooray.

Wait, no cheers. I mean *dances quietly to signal enthusiasm*.

Ahem.
