School Festival

This Tuesday marked the 66th year Mokpo Girls High School has been in existance and is also the day the school festivsl falls on. I was also here for the festival last year and had a really fun time. The festival ran from 9 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. I was also in the fashion show this year. My role this year was much smaller. The festival began with the opening ceremonies. A speech from the school principal and students. There was also cake involved.

The morning half of the festival included class choirs, short comedy skits, and a well done play about the events of May 18, 1980, in the city of Gwangju. Then the teachers went out for a vegeterian buffet while a pile of pizza was bought to feed several hundred teenagers. Good times. The afternoon consisted of a fashion show, live rock music from the school band, and some tv commercials and music videos made by the class. The teachers even got involed in the festival, taking part in singing and acting as models for the fashion show. I also forgot to mention that the students also did live dances of thier favorite songs, Sorry Sorry by Super Junior and Gee Gee by Girls Generation.

So what was my part in this year’s festival? I was in the Sorry Sorry video for about 10 seconds, doing p[art of a dance routine. It was fun. I took some pictures and videos of the festival and will post them on here and the videos to my youtube account.
