A Fantastic Experience

Yesterday was a remarkable day for the drama team of SMKDZM as this was the first time in history, our drama team made it to the state level English Drama Competition. The competition which commenced at 8.00am and only finished at 1.00pm was participated by ten schools (from ten districts in Perak) which were grunting and grinding their way in the notion of representing Perak in the national level competition in Penang. It was definitely a tough competition as all the schools were equally good. But, as you all know, in any competition, there would only be one winner.
Eventhough the results didn’t favour us, we were very satisfied as we put up a good fight. For us to get fourth (we only rehearsed for two days, believe me…) among ten participating schools was definitely an achievement itself as the top three schools were superb. King George V (represented Larut Matang-Selama) bagged the first place, leaving SMK Sentosa (represented Kinta Selatan) as runners.
The Georgians 7 months of practice surely paid off when they put up a mind-blowing performance, with amazing props and a unique story line, which was also awarded the best script. I’m sure they will make Perak proud in the national level competition.
On the other hand, the 1st runner-ups (who were last year’s runner-up for the national level competition) were not satisfied with the results as they expected to grab the first place. There was another drama going on backstage as that school wanted to hand over a ‘Surat Bantahan’ to the organizing team. But, in my perception, they shouldn’t have taken it too seriously as the judges did a good job in choosing the best team.
Whatever it is, our drama team is very thankful to Sir Edmund Yeo, Teacher Jenny and all the teachers involved, for their concerted effort in training us until we achieved a contented victory. Not to forget, I would like to thank all the team members (Kit Yin, Pavaani, Thava, Jabar, Pei Yii, Darshany, Guna, Narenth, Siva and Vel) for their wonderful cooperation in putting up such a good performance yesterday. I will surely miss the enjoyable sessions of training with you guys…
I hope next year we can at least represent our state for the national level competition. This wish will definitely go on my vision board.
BE AWARE OTHER TEAMS… DZ WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR!!!
