The Four Musketeers

WMACS 2005 featured several classes in which everyone both dreaded and looked foward to. The Four Musketeers decided to incorporate every class into a dance while humming the ice cream song. The "dance" was structured likewise:

• some Modern Dance moves (particularly the "noodle", which all the guys refused to do in the Ya Birthday dance)
  
• Stripping (I don't remember who's idea that was...)
  
• bits of the Wushu form
  
• Arts and Crafts
  

and last but not least...

• Lion Dance using lion heads painstakingly constructed through pizza boxes and torsos as trashbags.
  

We worked from dawn till dusk (literally) to finalize our dance and construct the lions spending part of the night in Mok-yi Chow's room so he could help us out with making it. We worked so hard so late that we decided to take a nap. We woke up at 5, went downstairs to the lounge, sat around for a while like zombies talking about nothing in particular....then went outside where they usually gather and started practicing it from the beginning, and finalizing our lion dance moves for the performance. It was so early that the sky was still dark, the lamplights were still on, and the tv in the cafeteria. After finishing going over the whole thing we just stood there...doing nothing, and said "ey look......the tv's still on in the cafeteria........." "yeeeaaa..........cooooool.................."
So we went back inside and chilled in the lounge, and gathered what we could find to make a good lion head--cone cups, red party ribbon, and trash bags. That morning we paraded through the halls yelling nothing other than "YAAAAAAAAYYYYYY" while we passed half-awake girls with wtf looks on their faces.
The talent show performance was successful and received great feedback from the crowd, but still lost against the acapella Tong Hua performance by Orange Crew. Rumor has it we were one vote away from tying with them. Too bad that was the last year they had only one place for talent show winners. =_=
