Metea Valley’s Annual Winter Pep Assembly took place on Feb 6. The event included multiple fun team games and amazing performances by the music and dance teams.
“It’s like another hype assembly,” senior and Emcee Soha Panchal said. “The games and the people are hyped up.’
The emcees are in charge of planning the assemblies, especially the games that take place. Along with that, other clubs performed, including Muses, Dance Team, and Orchesis.
“We began planning as soon as we came back from Winter,” Panchal said. “We just planned out what games we would play and who would participate in those games.”
This assembly happens annually, so students feel fresh for the new semester ahead and to know what main events are happening this semester.
“I think it’s supposed to help people stay motivated [and that] there are things to look forward to,” Panchal said. “I think that’s the whole point of it.”
This year, the basketball game between the students and teachers really brought the energy up with everyone screaming and cheering for their peers. There was a halftime, where the dance team performed.
“I think that they just want to make more time for the basketball game, because we have noticed that everyone loves the game,” said Panchal.
Some of the other events that took place were the performances. Muses, Apollo, Dance Team, cheer, and Orchesis performed their pieces, all receiving a lot of applause from the audience.
“We spent three months planning and preparing the two routines that we performed: Tore Up, and our partner dance,” Orchesis Member and junior Audrey Myka said.
These pieces were also performed last month as part of the Orchesis Annual Showcase Production.
“It’s always such a thrill to be able to perform in front of all my teachers and peers, and it’s always something I look forward to,” Myka said.
