I want to know why Sing Song has to be a contest.

I love Sing Song because it is a chance for people to put on a great show, dress in crazy costumes and sing funny songs.

It is a time for getting to know your fellow classmates and club members better. But the fact that it is a contest, that it pits class against class, club against club, is…stupid.

Being on Study Abroad this semester, I miss going to Sing Song, seeing the costumes and seeing all the class and club acts.

Other people here feel the same, but the thing they want to know when they ask about Sing Song to their friends is, “Who’s the favorite to win?” And after Sing Song: “Who won?” The actual show and having fun doesn’t seem to matter.

And honestly, it is awful and terrible to judge people in Sing Song. Every act has worked hard and has put on a great show; they don’t deserve to be judged.

Who are you to judge their dedication, creativity, hard work? I move that we abolish the contest part of Sing Song and instead…enjoy the show.
