The Battle of the Bands
Our concert date is now coming coming ever closer. We have decided on the best 6 bands that will come and perform at the concert. Our main job is now to do the advertising for this concert, as the more people that come, the more money we will collect to help with the operations of these kids. I volunteered to make the poster as it gave me a chance to merge creativity with service. Advertising makes all the difference and i set about making the most awesome poster we could make. Bharat found the perfect picture to keep as the background of the poster and i set about displaying the relevant information on it. Once we printed it out, it looked really nice, so hopefully many people will show up to help with our cause.
Our final Saisa team is to be chosen soon. The principles of selection are commitement, team work and discipline. We have practices 4 times a week on Tuesday, Wednesday (6 am!), Friday and Saturday morning. During all these training, we as the seniors of the team try to maintain a spirit of teamwork and lead the new players who are going on saisa for the first time or are playing football at saisa level for the first time.
We have some bad news for the team. Due to the SAT's being on the same weekend as SAISA, 2 players including our only Goalkeeper cannot travel!! Since we have nobody who can play goalkeeper, i have decided to inherit the #1 jersey. It is a new skill for me and i hope that i will not let my team down. It also gives me a chance to organize and lead my team from the very back as i will now have a full overview of what is happening in the match.
We played a couple of matches this month including another game against CIS, Gateway, Royal Institute and Elizabeth Moir school. We beat royal Institute 4:1, Gateway 3:1, lost 3:2 to Elizabeth Moir and beat CIS on penalities after a 1:1 score during the game. I managed to keep decently in all the matches and even helped win the penalty shootout against CIS by making 2 saves. In the match against Elizabeth Moir i was especially able to show my leadership skills as it was a very rough game and tempers flew high which i managed to calm :)

We also needed to design the tickets for both the entrance and the raffle. I have designed a sample for both which could possibly be printed.

Football
We played our first practice match of the SAISA season. We played the boys football team from CIS. Being our first match of the season we were still very unorganized and raw in terms of our teamwork and communication. We played out a 2:2 draw and won on penalties. I scored the second equalizing goal and scored in the penalty shootout. It was a good match for me as I managed to organize and lead the team from behind as we fought out an equalizer each time we conceded.
