This school year’s sportsfest is really different from the previous years’. Different because there’s a show of jaw-dropping performances.
That day upon waking up in the morning, the Pillaricans’ hearts seemed to float in the air cause by the great excitement of tasting the short freedom from the days of torture in school, well that’s how every student normally describes it.
With a short walk from the highschool campus to college department’s, the students simply felt like they were perambulating at the bright orange towers of the Golden Gate Bridge and the beautiful skyline of San Francisco inhaling the sweet scent of the early morning’s cool breeze while watching the “Great Pumpkin” in the sky with blue and orange streaks to rise proudly showing it’s crowning halo.
Everyone was really thrilled and wolfed down the basketball court to get a good view of the most awaited show of that day, the 17th of August. Even the college buildings were completely filled with an ocean of spectators.
Watching the eleven acrobats in suits sip in red wine, they built towers through their springy bodies that looked like they were made of Mexican chilli peppers being toasted under the heat of the sun. even though the sunshine was intense, the viewers simply didn’t let anything to have them miss even a single scene.
One of the funniest parts of the show was when one of the acrobats disguised a a clown with a funny ball of red nose and curly vibrant hair, he took steps closer to the children and they ran away in great horrid as if the clown was gonna eat ‘em alive and that made everyone guffaw.
Another was when he asked a volunteer to assist him on his trick and spotted a lady in black pants and blue cardigan. He then showed to the public and to the lady that the blackish pouch he was holding was empty then after a few counts, he let the lady try to put one of her hands to get anything she senses inside of it and alas! Upon taking her hands and showing what she got, she and the oglers discovered that it was a man’s undies in murky color and each and every one chortled out their guts.
One of the mind-blowing parts was when two of the acrobats blalanced on a piece of plank on a black barrel and would see the people’s faces that deep within them, they’re silently screaming “Oh my gosh!” or wondering what if they suddenly fall.
Another was the moment when a rider of a single-wheeled bicycle leaped up like arabbit over three men which later increased to five. Surely, the viewers wondered what if it would make a mistake in his measurement then crush down the men’s guts.
Then the romantic part came. A couple of acrobats of opposite sexes strolled the court that was mentioned earlier which is good with the woman on top of the man’s shoulders feeling like she was a bird flying high like in the all-time favorite film, Titanic then let the soothing background music be their guide. Next theing they did was the man placed a metal pole on one of his shoulders and let the girl climb through it like a ninja from the film “The Warrior’s Way” then after reaching the top, she, then sat calmly on a chair atop of the pole and turn herself upside down on it which made everyone clap in great pleasure and amazement of the scene.
To add, one of the favorites of the crowd was when an assistant rolled sheets of newspapers and formed a bif ring thru it then started to light it and angry flame quickly razed while the acrobats jumped fearlessly thru it like the lions we watch from the circus and last, the perplexing and off-the-wall clown before the inferno finished burning the ring.
And for the highlight of the show, the basketball tournament of tumblers riding on uterly gigantic single-wheeled bicycles which added greater agitation and kick to the audience. They were totally silly for when they shot the ball, they simply plunged the ball down the basket which the viewers found it interesting that even though it was raining, they didn’t mind it and simply continued watching the red pepper acrobats. Several times, one of them looked like he was gonna fall and the audience shrieked in horror then laughed when they figured out that they’ve been fooled by the specified acrobat because he was just acting.
Thanks for these astounding red pepper acrobats for they had helped in making this school year’s fest a great and one-of-a-kind one. Their splendidness basically made the audience five years younger and their hearts healthier and with more vigor and lastly, made that occasion an unforgettable one to the flourishing Pillarican saga.
