Crimson & Black Choir hosted our school’s first ever Mr. Mac-Hi event on February 28, 2017 to raise money for an upcoming trip to New York. This event is similar to the idea of Miss America Pageant. The boys in the running for Mr. Mac-Hi performed in a series of events, such as interviews, a talent portion, dancing, and much, much more! Our contestants were: Eduardo Corona, Miguel Garcia, Connor Humbert, Landon Warne, Dillon Rhoads, Mark Lua, Riley Chester, and Keaton Smith.
As we all waited for the first annual Mr. Mac-Hi to start, music was playing, Aaron Duff was talking about our contestants, and we were all getting so excited to see what was coming. Seven o’clock came, and the contestants were called up to the stage one by one along with their beautiful escorts: Micha Fortune, Cynthia Flores, Kaitlyn Slusarenko, Sydnie Richwine, Lizbeth Lara, Camille Riley, Mariela Garcia, Alexxus Shelton.
The competition began with Mr. Aaron Duff, principal of Freewater Elementary School, telling the audience what each of the boys’ favorite colors were, their favorite songs, favorite movies, accomplishments, what they plan to do after college, etc. After he introduced the boys, they had to turn to their escorts and say their favorite pickup line. We all laughed as the boys began telling what they were.
After they were done being introduced, they then went backstage and began to get ready for the talent portion. Oh boy, that was interesting. Each contestant had his own unique talent. Some were funny, some were interesting, and then there was Landon Warne, who actually chose to do something very outstanding. He sang an original song called “I’m Still Yours.”
After the boys performed in the talent portion, they did a group dance. The song for their dance was Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby.” All of the boys walked out onstage, struck a pose, and then the music began. The boys started dancing and then ran off stage to pick a person from the audience to take on stage and dance with them. After their hilarious group performance, the boys went backstage to change out of their dance costumes.
They then came out one by one with their escorts to answer a “would you rather” question. The questions were unique, just like all of the boys’ answers. After that portion, the five judges went away to decide who would be our first annual “Almost Mr. Mac-Hi” and our winning “Mr. Mac-Hi”.
While the judges were deciding, the boys were awarded with sashes titled Mr. Fitness, Mr. Congeniality , Mr. Musical, Mr. Personality, Mr. Outgoing , Mr. Vain, Mr. GQ, and Mr. Competitive. The boys looked pretty happy with their awards. Then came the two big awards of the night: Mr. Almost Mac-Hi, and the big one, Mr. Mac-Hi. A big congratulations to Miguel Garcia for winning “Mr. Almost Mac-Hi,” and to Riley Chester for winning “Mr. Mac-Hi.”
You were all hilarious and did an amazing job!
There are also DVDs for sale. You can purchase them for $10. Also they had an auction for three gift baskets. The first basket was a “Date Night” basket with coupons for babysitting, popcorn, candy, a gift card, everything you would need for the perfect date night. The second basket was full of hair products. It had shampoo, conditioner, styling products, combs, etc. Finally, the third basket was full of “World’s best chocolate.” It had fifty pounds of chocolate in one basket.
The money raised from the baskets, the DVDs, and the admission fees will help the Crimson & Black Choir compete in New York.
