Gandhi Cup Opening Ceremony
On Monday, November 1st
2010, at around 12:30 pm, my school Gandhi Ancol formally
holds
the opening ceremony of their annual event Gandhi Open
Tournament or also known as Gandhi
Cup. This tournament has already been held since 2006. Each year
always has its unique ways in
doing the whole event, including the opening ceremony. Thats no
wonder since the committees,which consist of people who are
responsible for the whole event, are different every year. Last
years Gandhi Cup has no such thing as glamorous opening like
what this years committee has
done, so does the last two years. This years Gandhi Cup actually
hold a grand opening where
they gather the whole SMA Gandhi students, from grade ten to
grade twelve, to see all the
competitors who join the Gandhi Cup, and also having the
champions of the Septembers event
Gandhi Got Talent to show their talents.
The opening ceremony of GOT 4 (Gandhi Open Tournament 4) was
held in Gandhi Ancols hall.
The SMA students were gathered in the balcony upstairs where
they can overlook the stage and
also the main hall where the competitors later will gathered. I,
myself, was sitting in the rightcorner of the balcony with my
fellow twelve graders and some teachers like Ms. Ervina, Ms.
Hani, Ms. Nani and Ms. Meenu. Near the stage, there were some
sofas where the Principal,
SMAs headmaster, supervisors, and the head of Gandhi foundation
sat.
After settling down the students, the opening ceremony began
with introductions for each school.
One of the committee was holding a board with the competitors
school name and walking down
the hall with the team lined up and following right behind them.
Their entrance was also
accompanied by some catchy and upbeat music to make the SMA
crowds cheer for them. There
were some schools which didnt show up at the opening ceremony,
but most of the schools were
there and making a huge crowd in the hall. The loudest cheer was
gained by SMA Gandhi Ancolteam (of course they were, they ARE the
host of the event).
After the introduction, the head of the committee, Alexander,
gave his speech. He said that all
the committee had worked hard to make this event happened, and
will work harder to end this
event successfully. He ended his speech by saying good luck to
all the competitors. The welcome
speech was continued by the Principal, Mr. Dillon, who mentioned
about keeping up the
sportsmanship and showing the pride of their school. Right after
that, Mrs. Line, SMAs
headmistress gave a quick speech saying that the head of Gandhi
foundation should open the
event now by cutting the ribbon prepared. Mr. Head of
Foundation, accompanied by Ms. Line,
Mr. Dillon, Ms. Krishna, and Mr. Walter then cut the ribbon on
the stage, making the hall filledwith thunderous claps from all the
SMA students, the competitors, and the teachers.
The opening ceremony was continued with performances from the
champions of Gandhi Got
Talent and the twin-magician from grade eleven. The first
performance was a girl from grade ten
who was singing. She was the runner up in GGT and accompanied by
Irsabian who owned the
first place. The show continued by the dance performed by a
group from FEP who took the third
