April DCM | Sunrise Olympics

April DCM was the one I participated this quarter, and it sure was fun! Not only was it the first DCM planned by the new lieutenant governor, but the new DLT was announced. It was exciting to see who were the next leaders in our division.

Aside from the speeches given in the beginning, the best opening to our day was the fashion show. Everyone was spirited in their red, white, and blue from Oxford Academy, so the fashion went well without a hitch. Oxford jumping jacks for the win!

After all the schools finish their performance for the fashion show, Katella Key Club won, thanks to their rapping skills. Even with lost, everyone was still pumped up for the upcoming games. Oxford was paired up with Fairmont, Magnolia, and Los Alamitos. Sadly, Los Alamitos didn’t show up, but, we were still a big group.

The first game on the day was tic-tac-to racing. It consisted of running back and forth to play a game of tic-tac-to. It was fun, but we still lost. Out of three, we managed to get one win, we didn’t give up.

The next game was the water race. About 20 people from each team had to line up in front of a bucket of water, with a sponge in it, and run to the other bucket to transfer the water through the sponge. I sat out on this one, but it was still fun to watch people participate in the game.

All was going well for my team, until of course, a tragedy occurred. The bucket fell over, and all the water spilled out. Despite that, our team continued to get as much water to the other side as much as they can.

At the end, we had a sufficient amount of water. Surprisingly, someone from Magnolia came up and dumped a water bottle in our bucket. We were disqualified, but it was quite funny. The next round began, and at the end, we seemed to have won. Of course, it was never announced as the next game proceeded. Before it can start, every started to run towards an ice cream truck. I stayed back, and luckily, a closer ice cream vendor came, and I got ice cream without running. That’s just plain luck! We then played Huggy Bear, and whoever lost, had to play a punishment game.

Unlike the first two games, I actually participated in this one. The water balloon toss was the games name, as two people from different clubs form a team and toss the water balloon from one another with increasing distance. I teamed up with my brother from Magnolia, and we managed to get three throws until it popped in my hand. Out, I just watched the remaining duos. At the end, two groups won, as the balloons popped at the same time. One person of the four was from Oxford Academy Key Club!

Last but not least, the relay race was being set up. Sadly, I had to leave as my ride was there. I wasn’t disappointed, however, as the day had been fun enough. Waving goodbye to my club, I walked home with some fun memories.
