You Have It All

Chapter 8

Clara and Erin's injuries proved to be minor, thank gosh! Last thing I need is more girls teetering in and out. Practice was really long today but we all pulled through.

Now I should be working on homework right now I'm doing something more important first. I am currently making the setlist for Rival night. I have to use the 3-2-1 method which is really bothering me. What is the 3-2-1 method you ask? Well its one of the ever so complicated rules for Rival night where you sing 3 songs as an entire squad, then 2 songs as a partial squad (so usually only 3-4 people participate) and then 1 song solo. The solo is solely reserved for the captain though. What fun.

Do you know how hard it is to find a song where everyone in your squad? Its incredibly stressful. Its the most stressful thing about this competition. I lied. The most stressful thing about this competition is the Championship whether in Upper-class or Lower-class. It defines you as a captain and as a squad. That night where the decision is made is probably one of the scariest nights of the year.

8 squads, 2 categories the odds aren't the best. Even if you make it to Upper-class its basically mission impossible to survive on top un-scathed.

I have no idea what to do for this setlist, I've sat here pen in my hand, paper in front of me, Mac next to me waiting to mix something up. They tell us "be original, be unique, wow us, blow us away" geez we're not superheroes. To top it all off, we have to have the moves to match. Yup thats right we have to dance, there has to movement, flow, rhythm. I swear I'm so done with this.

I decided to take a break and actually do some homework to clear my mind. Usually when I do homework I listen to the radio, I dont know I guess it helps me concentrate.

"Alright all you listeners we're throwing it back old school, I'm talking early 2000's" the DJ said into the radio. That's it! Why didn't I think of this before!? We'll do a mix of everything thats hot right now and from way back when! Its original, creative and spontaneous! Oh now this is going to be fun.
