Memorable Experience

Reenacting in High School

One day, when I was 17 years old or in third grade of high school, there was an annual event to celebrate school anniversary by the student council and teacher. My class had a week before we performed in front of juries. The first day we had discussed our theme, the result was reenacting scene from a movie called The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

Next day, Rakha, Fikri, Gery, and I were tasked to make properties. First, we needed to find woods, bamboos, and etc. We made properties while the others were practicing a scene, three days passed and we had made properties like armors, swords, bows, and arrows. For the rest of the days, I practiced to be an archer. We had a problem to find lion costume but instead we used a tiger costume.

The day of the event started, my class was called, we used field of the high school in front the juries. While we reenacting a duel, one of the swords was broken, the one who had broken sword was supposed to win. We were saved by them, they improved the duel, the one who did not have broken sword pretended to lose the fight. The audiences laughed when the tiger was entering a scene. We already knew that would lose, but it was better than our last years. The days we spent time to practice were more fun.
