The 2009 Mock Rally can be defined as fun, risque, cultural and definitely hilarious.
It’s part of the Homecoming event activities that the seven finalists must take part in.
They choose a mocker to mock them on stage at the rally, together they choose a song and the day of the rally it all comes together to be performed.
The mocker gets 45 seconds on stage to perform in front of the seven Homecoming candidates, students, faculty and seven judges.
June Romo, candidate No. 3, was asked before the show, “Are you ready?”
She replied with the biggest grin across her face pointing to both the backstage mockers and the audience, “Are they ready?”
On stage were 14 chairs soon-to-be filled, as each woman was announced, then followed by their mockers.
Candidate are as follows:
- Tiffany Gaskin, BSU,
- Monica Reyes, Court Reporting Club,
- June Romo, independent,
- Sana Khan, ASET,
- Laura Casteneda, ISA,
- Evie Mendoza, Student Veteran’s Club, and
- Suzette Vega, Phi Theta Kappa.
The seven judges sat at the tip of the catwalk. Amongst the seven judges was 2008’s Homecoming Queen, Helen Peabody.
The mockers were not shy as the music played, the boys played as well.
Kicking off with “Single Ladies” by Beyonce performed by Tiffany Gaskin’s mocker had the crowd clapping and grooving to the music.
In the end, the judges can only choose one mocker to receive the winning title and a vegetable bouquet.
That title was given to candidate No. 2 Monica Reyes’ mocker Aaron Alvarez, who very enthusiastically performed to “She’s a Lady” by Tom Jones.
