Crystal Ball Court

The second dance of the 2022-2023 School year was the Crystal Ball. That said, I went around and spoke with the Crystal Ball court. Starting with the princes and then the princess.

The first prince I talked to was Ian. I asked him how he felt about being on the Crystal Ball court and he said “It was unexpected and random to be chosen for the Crystal Ball court”. He had gotten into the court because of art class. His advice is to take more fine arts classes like art, choir, and band and keep your mental health in check, and stay grateful for what you have.

The next prince I spoke with was Andrew. He found it pretty cool to be on the court and was glad to be chosen on the court. Since he is the only senior boy in the orchestra, he thinks it would have been cool to be king but in the end, he is happy about being a prince. His advice for the lowerclassmen is to stay positive and enjoy the little moments of life, and always give it your best.

I then spoke with Prince Anthony. He was surprised to be on the Crystal Ball court and didn’t expect it. He got it from band and is happy for his friend’s support, and finds it to be exciting to be on the court. His advice to the lowerclassmen is to be more social, because you only have four years in high school, and from his experience, he didn’t start to get out socially until his junior year. He wants to prompt the Dimond Band’s Instagram, @offcial_dimondhighband.

One of the other princes I interviewed was Brian. He found it to be really cool to be on the Crystal Ball court, but did not expect it, and didn’t expect to be king. He had gotten into court because of theater. His advice to lowerclassmen is to try new things and get yourselves out there.

The last prince I talked to was Dawson. He found being on the Crystal Ball court scary; he knew it was a possibility to be chosen for the court, and he got on the Crystal Ball court from choir and theater. He is thankful for being on the court.

Next, I spoke with the princess. The first princess I talked to was Anna. She is excited to be on the court, and expected to be on the court, but did not expect to win the queen. She had gotten in due to art. Her Advice for lowerclassmen is to stick to something you enjoy.

The next princess I interviewed was Hailey smith. She is surprised to be chosen for the Crystal Ball court. She finds the other people on the court to be very talented and nice. She got on the court because of orchestra and didn’t care if she ended up being the queen or not. Her advice to the lowerclassmen is to take care of their mental health and learn to take a break from time to time.

The last princess I was able to talk to was MJ. She had gotten in from band and didn’t expect to be on the court. Her advice to lowerclassmen is to try new things even though you are scared and to talk stuff out rather than keep it double up inside.

The result of the Crystal Ball court was MJ as queen and Brian as king. So I went and spoke with the lucky winner of the Crystal Ball court to see their opinion and how they feel about being king and queen. First I spoke with Queen MJ and she said: “It all happened so fast and it’s shocking to end up being the queen of the crystal ball court. It was very unexpected”. Then I went and talked with the king to see how he felt about it. He found it to be very cool and fun and is glad he was able to spend time with friends. He thought Dawson was gonna end up being king. But overall Brian says “be awesome and don’t take everything so seriously”.
