MOCK ROCK.

For the larger part of March, most of my free time was spent preparing for one thing: Mock Rock. Put on by AS every year, Mock Rock is a giant dancing and lip-syncing competition. SOS always enters, and there were seven other teams. Each team practiced for hours on end in order to prepare.

Our theme was Batman. We had four different scenes that carried the storyline, along with a finale. Monday through Thursday, we practice from 10 pm to 1 am. After practice was over, we would go get food and then have a dance party in the parking lot. It was absolutely exhausting but worth every minute of it.

Mock Rock was held on Friday, March 25th, and I have never seen the gym so packed. All of us performers got kicked out of our seats, and we had to sit in the aisles to watch.

I know it’s lengthy, but I would love for you to take the time to watch our performance:

 The video was put together by a fellow SOS leader, Greg. He also put together a documentary about the SOS Mock Rock experience, which can be watched here. He did a great job with it, and I really encourage you to view it.

Performing our dance was one of the most amazing feelings ever. After the night was over, we all went to In-N-Out. We ate and the moved all of our cars to the Staples parking lot. We then proceeded to have an epic two-hour dance party—one that I won’t soon forget.

Please enjoy some photos from the night:
