I’m back baby! never starting off a post like that again. Anyways, this post is about this thing that we’ve worked on for the past few months, called Destination Imagination, or DI for short.

Now, you’re all wondering “What is this DI?”. Well it’s good you’re here because that’s literally the entire post.

So, to explain it first. DI is a wonderful tournament where kids from all around go into one of the 5 categories (Structual, Technical, Fine Arts, Science, and Improv) to compete to win at Globals, were you win like five grand or something crazy like that. Our class decided to do it, and we each chose a category. Surprisingly, no one chose improv.

Well, I decided to go into the Fine Arts category. For this, we had to write up a mystery story, involving three suspects, a Techinical Clue to help solve the mystery, and two team choice elements. A team choice element is something where the team shows off their skills and interests.

My group was pretty good. It had Tatum, Simon, Marcus, Willa, Angela and Myself. And together we successfully got together the basics:

Time Period: 1970’s

TechiClue: Polaroid photos

Team Choice Element 1: Vest, made by Willa

Teacm Choice Element 2: Manequin head, made by Willa

Detective: Sarah Sawset, played by Willa

Suspect 1: Joker, played by Ruby (hi!)

Suspect 2: DJ, played by Simon

Suspect 3: Bouncer, played by Marcus

Police Woman: Police, played by Tatum

Unfortunaly, Angela had diving in Pentiction on the day, so we had to do without her. So, everything was fine. We had the script down, we were practicing, it was all great.

Then,

Our TechniClue wasn’t technical enough! It got dramatic, but I’m not saying any names here. Let’s just say that someone got mad, someone cried and everyone else felt awkward. Yeah. But we fixed it, we changed our TechiClue to fingerprinting. Our costumes were great.

We killed the Preformance. But the appraisers gave us 133 out of 200. But that was only on our Arts challenge. Then we had the Instant Challenge

The Instant Challenge is where you are given a task and have to do it in under eight minutes. Unfortunately, I can’t actually talk about what happened in the room where we did it, as we have been sworn to secrecy.

Side note: I searched up ‘oath’ on google for an image for this, and I somehow managed to get to ‘dog swearing’. In which I found this:

Yeah

Anyways, we rocked the tournament. We got 100 out of 100 on our Instant Challenge. Yay! It was a full day, and it was great. Then came deciding who wanted to go to the next level, which was Provincials.

Not a single soul in my group wanted to go. But, let’s be clear here

So bad. But no one else in my group wanted to go, so I’m trying to witch groups. No news on that yet, but I’ll change this when I find out

Thats all for now

Read ya later
