With many laughs, dancing and acting, The Homecoming Mock Rally was a success for Homecoming Court member Teresa Gonzalez and her  ‘mocker’ Mark Vera, who was voted the favorite in this event.

The second week of the Homecoming events ended with the  Oct. 7 Mock Rally, an event where men are chosen to dress and act, and in other words to mock, the seven members of the homecoming court.

The procedures that the ‘mockers’ had to go through in this event was to strut their stuff down the runway, answer questions asked by the master of ceremonies, Cerritos alumni and DJ Rey Mar then asked to show their moves.

Rey Mar commented on the rally by saying, “This is my 17th year doing it, and it gets better every year. Each event has something that tops the previous ones.”

With a full house in attendance and with the reactions they gave, it seems as though many students agree.

A moment that brought out a positive reaction from everyone was when Mar made a comical statement to mocker Sean O’Brian, who was representing court member Briana Koppe saying, “I do have a thing for tall redheads”, in which O’Brian responded with, “I do like chorizo,” making the crowd laugh.

Another big reaction from the audience was to mocker Carlos Guerrero, who was representing Erica Caseros of the IFalcon Club.

While dancing, his ‘water balloons’ fell out of his shirt in an apparent accident, which sparked huge laughter from everyone in attendance.

Vera, however, started the biggest reaction by the crowd and the judges.

When Vera was up to start dancing, there were some difficulties with the specific song he wanted to dance to.

Vera was dancing while in the splits, which was unexpected, which made the crowd erupt with cheers and applause.

At the end of it all, the team of Vera and Gonzalez were voted as the winners by judges.

Happy from the win, Gonzalez said, “Mark deserved to win. He gave it his all and practiced really hard; I am so proud. I chose Mark as a mocker because he is a cosmetology student as well and has an energetic personality in everything he starts he give it 100 percent as do I.”

The Homecoming Queen will be revealed at the game on the Oct. 16 football game against Ventura.
