Rollup, roll up, it's the Minami Junior High Fiesta di Sportsia, commonly known as Sports Day.
Five teams, one hot September Saturday and eleventy hundred certificates, four trophies and three class flags are up for grabs. I'll probably get a prize just for showing up.
Pre-drummage huddle
Opening ceremony: sacrificial drumming
Post-drummage line-up. One member's blood will be sacrificed, then the games can begin!
Tensions are running high in the Athletes' Village
It's only 10am, but the School Nurse is gearing up for her busiest day of the year. Over the next six hours, a constant stream of injured Gladiators enter her healing realm to be bandaged up and shipped back out to the arena and the baying crowd. Legs gush with the blood of titans, an excess of gravel is removed from the knees, and the odd weeping kid is wrapped up in a tin foil blankie.
A few physical jerks to warm up
The Green Team, unaware of the gravity of the situation
The Oxford Blues, also not taking things seriously enough
A slow start to the Baby Relay
Only eight gypsies were maimed in the making of this skipping rope
Yellow and Green teams subtly infiltrate Red Enemy territory for Lunch
Time for the Dance of the Fishermen
It was THIS BIG!
The boys take a break for some Extreme Skipping
For The Win! Some of the teachers may have been taking this more seriously than the kids.
