Tangled Turned Tangoed

By Kaitlyn Ladner

JSB is an event that high schoolers and staff members waited to attend, especially since Dalat has not had one since 2019. Just for one night, people can dress up and not have to worry about academics. Though JSB is a vital night, the main topic of this article will be after-JSB, where the juniors are honored for the work they have done. 

Many seniors met up in the Vintage Chapel on that Saturday morning to plan for the night's event to honor the juniors. After more people came, they started the meeting by spitting ideas on how to spoof their JSB. Seniors came up with the idea of "Tangoed: Never Stop Dancing." 

,Seniors dispersed into three groups decoration, food and entertainment. Seniors were off to go pursue their duties in their committees. Some were chopping food for the food that night, which was tacos. The deco team went to Harbor Hall, where JSB was held and used the decorations for after-JSB. The entertainment committee was in the computer lab brainstorming ideas for the act. 

Since After-JSB is a spoof of what the Juniors did, they had to devise certain things to make good fun of what happened the night before. The decoration team made "unwanted" posters of each junior and sponsor because the juniors made "wanted" posters for JSB. The deco team also saran wrapped their appetizer because the appetizers in JSB were overly wrapped. The entertainment committee was able to spoof many things that happened at the event. A few other things that were spoofed were done in the skit performed for entertainment. For example, when making the play or the entertainment, they swapped the characters' genders.  

Since the whole night was full of memorable moments, Joycelyn Fung (11) was asked what her favorite was; she said, "We were all in tears from laughing so hard, and I loved all the spoofs. But if I had to pick a favorite, it might just have to be "But daddy, I want to go to Tangocon!" 

As the night went on, both the senior and junior class enjoyed the night full of laughter and tears of joy.
