I admit it. I was very proud and happy to hear Riverbank High School had won second place in the annual Lip Sync state championship contest.
I am a bruin at heart, and though I graduated many years ago, I felt the emotion when I saw those kids jumping, screaming, and with tears in their eyes when they heard their school had won.
The lip sync contest is one of the most exciting activities of the year for some of the students, including myself. (I participated my last two years of high school as a dancer, and I had a blast!)
It’s a very positive activity where you make friends with students and your school principal, who you wouldn’t otherwise talk to in a regular school setting. And best of all, you get scholarship money.
So, I congratulate you Riverbank High for making us proud and for making history.
Though Riverbank had made it to the state championship before, this was the first time they finally made it to the top three.
Go Bruins!
