On Friday Feb. 13, Goodpasture replaced their scheduled Devo time with a few rounds of song trivia for the students to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Students were selected by each class’s student council president. There were four students from each class: two boys and two girls.
There were three rounds to this game. The goal was to rack up the most points. The first and second rounds were the same and had the students guessing the song that was played on the speakers. By guessing the song first, you would get two points. By guessing second, you would get one point.
The third round was finishing the lyrics. This was scored with five points for getting the lyrics right and two extra bonus points for performance quality.
The game consisted of songs that had to do with love or had a Valentine’s feel to it. The freshman seemed to be on fire and guessed almost every song first.
Many people enjoyed watching the activity period.
“I thought it was fun, but I didn’t think we did well though,” sophomore Brady Johnson said.
Johnson wasn’t the only one with this opinion.
“It was fun,” freshman Izzy Watson said.
While it was fun in the stands, it was a little more complicated down on the court.
“We got almost every song right and would push the button a few seconds before we were done writing,” sophomore Kaylee Harrell, who was one of the four people chosen to play for the sophomores, said.
Although the sophomores had known many of the songs, they still came in last with a little bit of lingering resentment for the game.
“It was fun, but it was rigged,” Harrell said jokingly. “Our button wouldn’t work and even Hayden Abbott tried pushing the button for us and it still wouldn’t work.”
This game all around seemed to be fun for the students, but what about the teachers?
“I thought it was a creative way to canvas the knowledge of our students’ musical history,” said Bible teacher Mr. Heath Pickard. “I was a big Frank fan.”
While Mr. Pickard’s favorite performance was Frank, other students had different opinions.
“I thought Ryder’s performance was the best,” states sophomore Kylie Barrett.
The game was a blast for everyone who attended, and with a round of applause, the freshmen came in first, the seniors in second, the juniors in third, and the sophomores in fourth.
