Well you’ll be happy to hear that Bobcat Explosion was indeed an exploding night, demonstrating outstanding school spirit. We had live performances and events from the school’s band, cheerleaders, dance team, a rock band, and so much more. The event’s theme was Go Green, showing care to our dear friend Earth. So remember we all share the same home, so please be sure to recycle, keep it clean, and spread love to our green planet. It was started off from the school’s band, performing rhythmic beats and dance moves, keeping the audience entertained and alive. I myself wished to go down there on the floor and joined them. Our exquisite cheerleaders did a show for us, and their performance showed courage and determination, especially with those stunts a few did when thrown in the air.

We had dance performances from the lovely ladies of our dance team and SWAG step team, which was very entertaining, as they kept us waiting with tension and suspense to see what they’ll next do next, and what a few twists they had. I also really enjoyed the rock band that performed there as well. It was my first time seeing them performed and it reminded me of past concerts I went to. Hopefully I’ll see more of them. Another interesting show we saw was a fashion show and of course the theme was Go Green. All the outfits were either made out of trash bags, shirts, newspapers and surprisingly even duct tape, and I’m still wondering how they pulled that off. Many of our fellow bobcats participated in a mini basketball game and it seems they all had fun and proved that Chicago guy that we have school spirit. Well that’s how our Bobcat explosion was, very energetic and alive. It sure made my night seeing many familiar faces on stage and cheering on them, having their flow of energy of excitement within me.

Have a great day bobcats. GO GREEN!!
