Tri Ziva’s biggest event of the year was Mr. Tri Ziva last week on Feb. 23. Last year, I wasn’t able to attend. With this being my first semester as fundraising chair of Tri Ziva, it was also only the second year that Tri Ziva has done this event. There was a good turnout last year, but this year it blew it out of the park. We had 110 people in attendance.
If you don’t know what Mr. TZ is, it’s essentially a guy pageant where guys compete to win the title of Mr. TZ for the year. They compete in three different categories: formal wear, interview and talent. One person (or the same person) will win all three of those categories and then one person will win Mr. TZ overall.
This year there was a variety of people who competed for Mr. TZ. We had students who play baseball, basketball or in the band, and students who are new to CBC this year. It was a night full of laughter, from witty interview answers to funny talents. Freshman Tony Kingston taught the crowd some fun camp songs with motions. Freshman Jadavian Banks, who goes by Ducky, led the crowd in a beautiful rendition of “Let It Go” from the movie “Frozen”.
I know you’ve been waiting this whole time to figure out who won the categories and overall. Now’s the time, so I’ll tell you! Tony won Mr. Interview, sophomore Jaden Dodson won Mr. Formal Wear, and Jadavian “Ducky” Banks won Mr. Talent AND Mr. Tri Ziva.
I’ve been reminiscing this past week about how absolutely fun that night was. I hope we have a bigger and better turn out next year. More people bring more fun!
