Pre-Branding

Branding happens every year within the first month of the semester.  Not only does it unify the class because of a common production name, but also because it requires immense teamwork during the process and on the day of. It brings us together because in the end, everyone wins: we will be branded with an amazing name.

 

One of the toughest parts of branding is choosing the name because it is the foundation for everything.  This year, we had a lot of trouble thinking up a name that has a very deep meaning and can stand for EVERYTHING we believe in.  We were a couple days behind when we all had an epiphany and came up with an amazing name.  After that, we struggled with our colours for a bit.  After a unanimous decision on the name and colours, branding was underway.

This year, the girls are dead serious.  We are not going to lose for the third time, especially when we have the advantage when it comes to numbers.  We are in it to win, no doubt.  Although we argued, we still remained true to our vision and got over it.  We split up into small groups, tackling separate aspects of our presentation and then came back together at the end of the day to re-group.

We learned from our mistakes and used the feedback we received. We practiced whenever we could—after school, before school, during class, even on the weekend.  That is how serious we are.  This is our year.

Win or lose, we will still have the unmoving friendship and love that blossomed with the branding.  Through these couple days, the girls—as I am sure the boys too—have bonded and become a part of one another.  The branding presentation is scheduled for tomorrow!

Wish us luck!
