This weekend, I competed in our MIFA show at St. John's high school. There, we faced Grand Rapids Christian, East Grand Rapids, and St. John's high school and a four show competition. Grand Rapids Christian went first, and they did a so called the Tempest, which is known as William Shakespeare's last play that he written before he died. It's was excellently executed by the stage set up, make up and acting but I was very lost because I was unfamiliar with this show. I do not know what St. John's did because we had to do make up and eat lunch before their show because the regular lunchtime was during our show. We went third and St. John's watched out show two weeks ago so there wasn't as much applause and reactions in the crowd as there was before. East Grand Rapids performed the Grimm Brother's Spectacular which was all the fairytales put into a 45 minute production. They told us at the beginning of the day, that the top two schools won't go on to state finals. We came in second, however, we did not go to state finals because of a technicality with the scoring. With each judge, each judge is worth up to 90 points for us to be graded on you have to get an 85 twice at least to qualify to move on. We got an 80, 81, and an 83. However, my instructor was very mad because according to the rulebook, you can change your scorecard at the end of the day to accommodate with how many schools are supposed to go. Some of us and our team feel cheated, however I am not mad just for the simple fact that it is out of our hands.
