Flash Mob dance:Large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place and perform an unusual dance.
August 27, 2010 is a very important day for us Raiders. We had a chance to show off our Raider spirit. We had been waiting for it for weeks. We couldn't wait to show what The SOH Raiders were all about. The news would record it; almost every person in San Diego would watch us, and finally that August 27 came.
“ We will perform the mob dance on the 27th, KUSI News will be coming to record us“. Confusion and excitement filled the room as soon as the words came out of our teachers' mouths, and next thing we all new is we were practicing this weird yet fun and cool dance in our classes. Mob dance practices took place during step being led by Ms. Bush’s dance students, and surprisingly enough teachers practiced too! We practiced and practiced until everybody got it right. Everyone waited eagerly and with excitement for that 27 of August.
When the day came, you could feel the excitement among all Raiders, and if you looked around you would see the colors red, white and gold. It seemed like the perfect day, the weather was unpredictably cool. After some quick announcements and instructions everyone went out to the fields with their first period class. We were all arranged in rows, the dance students placed in the front. The cameras were already there. The excitement grew a little more, however this time combined with a bit of nerves. Once everyone was in their assigned place, the song “I got a feeling” by 'The Black Eyed Peas' started playing, and Raiders started dancing. The cameras started recording, flashes were everywhere and suddenly people were fist pumping, clapping from side to side and snapping fingers to the beat of the music. Everything went as it had been expected, although I must say, it went even better.
Raiders: Great job! You showed off your spirit and now we’re all stars. Now let the other schools be jealous.
