Jump Jam in Tauranga

On Friday the CSNS Jump Jammers went to Tauranga to compete in the Jump Jam Nationals. We took two vans from school to our apartment in Tauranga. It was a five hour drive, but it went really quick because my friend Ava and I were making up parody's to songs. We stopped in Taupo to eat lunch and play at the park. My favourite part about the park was the swings because there were five swings and they are all facing each other so when you swing on them you hit every ones feet. It's so scary but mostly fun.

When we finally got to Tauranga we were all so excited to see what the apartments looked like. The teachers put four people in each apartment plus a teacher, the apartments were huge! Ava and I got the biggest room and it was awesome. The teachers made us go to bed early because we had a big day on Saturday.

The next day Miss Williams walked into our rooms at 5:30 am ( I know, too early) with her phone videoing Ava and I sleeping. After about 2 minutes she finally woke us up. " It's too early" we groaned. When I finally got up I ate some breakfast and got dressed then they started to do our make up. We had sparkly silver eyes and two pink stars on the side of our fore heads. Next the did our hair, it looked like a mow hawk, but it was cool. Once we had finished getting ready we took the vans to the theatre.

Once we arrived at the theatre, I had so many butterflies in my tummy it felt like i was on a roller coaster. A lady lead us down to the stage, my butterflies got even worse. The group before us walked off stage and before I had any time to realise that it was our turn to go on stage we were already walking on. As soon as the music started my butterflies went away. everyone put so much energy into the performance, it looked awesome! When we got off stage no one could talk because we had been chanting so loud that it hurt to talk. Finally all the performances had been and it was time to find out the placings. We walked on stage nervously, They read out third place " in third place we have..... College St Normal School with Gangnam Style!" We were all so happy we couldn't believe we got a placing.

It was such a fun weekend and I wish I could do it again!
