Senior BBQ

The Senior Barbecue that happens every year as a party for seniors to raise funds and pay their senior trip took place on the 18 of October, at the night club B412. From every grade in high school people attended, it is one of the most desired parties of the year, depending on the money seniors’ need there are many parties, this year I was told they needed lots of money so they are having at least three parties. The barbecue started at 8 o’clock sharp, people started arriving half an hour late, the only people early at the party were the seniors who were selling the tickets, because if a ticket wasn’t sold the senior who had it, had to pay it.

The atmosphere at the party had a very good mood, everyone was enjoying the music, seniors hired a known DJ from San Pedro Sula, and he is DJ Lulo. Electronic music was mostly played throughout the whole party and some reggaeton songs that put girls to dance all night long, and as if the dance floor wasn’t enough, they took dancing to the tops of tables. People were having a blast of fun, there were also snacks for people to grab bites if they were a little hungry, because dinner wasn’t sold here.

Even though some people didn’t show up, with the number of people that went it was surely enough, at midnight we could see people from other school arriving to the party and also some ex students from EIS trying to catch up with old friends. Lots of pictures were taken throughout the party by everyone, any person with a camera had the pleasure to catch some exciting and fun moments from the party. This kind of party makes socializing a primary thing because if you didn’t know anyone their maybe you were one of those people who were really bored and sitting down at the table doing nothing.

The senior president, Willy Perez, was the mind behind the party, he organized every single detail to make the senior party a party to remember, a party that could be talked about and that it would have good comments. The club was prepared for students, even though there was no school supervision here, the party didn’t allow anything wrong that shouldn’t be done happen. People behaved pretty decently and the school headmasters were proud to know that their students had behaved how they had expected them to do so.

The ending of the party was at about 4 o’clock in the morning of next day, the place wasn’t such a mess because people were well behaved. Some people after the party ended in B412 decided to take the party to the gas station next to the club and they decided to have their breakfast their and eat some baleadas, I was told by most people they had a great time and that they hoped that it could be repeated really soon.
