RTC Spirit Session

RS, Gahr High School, D13N

Division 13 North’s first RTC Spirit Session was held on Saturday, October 8th at Bellflower Kiwanis Hall from 4 to 7 pm. Compared to last year, I was quite surprised to see an abundance of new faces who were set on building spirit and getting a taste of what key club has in store for them. Today’s theme was 13 North’s Biggest Fan- meaning dress as your favorite celebrity- and the outfits that caught my eye the most were dressed as Taylor Swift and Soulja Boy! We began with an introduction from our LTG Kai Noah Jugo and spirit team then proceeded with the icebreaker, Poncho which was filled with dances and shouts back and forth between four groups until we eventually narrowed down to two (this round lasted 2 minutes long!). Led by Mary Carmona and Jaleena Nauta,  Jensen Lauti and Anna Tamayo, Justin Arizmendi and Katie De Guzman, and John Paul Talag and Tate Noble, members were then split into groups and learned the essential “How do you feel?!” cheer in addition to a portion of our first main cheer! As division tech editor, I enjoyed going around groups to hyping them up and they definitely did not disappoint! At the end, everything came together very well with a mini spirit battle (it’s not a spirit session without one) and we definitely filled the parking lot of Kiwanis Hall with GREEN MONKEY SPIRIT. Thanks to the help of our spirit team, spirit coordinators, and DLT, today was a success and I look forward to the next session!
