Clubs end year with banquets and celebrations

By Edgar Mendoza

Saddleback activities have a tradition of hosting a banquet every year for their club or sport. These banquets are created to congratulate Roadrunners for all their hard work and efforts. This year, the dance team, swim team, and band assembled at the end of the year to celebrate.

On May 29, the dance banquet was held at Tutto Fresco. At this Italian restaurant, all the dancers received a trophy and others received medals for individual accomplishments. For seniors, this was the last banquet they will share with the team before they graduate. Senior Heinen Delibrado mentioned, “I really enjoyed this year’s banquet. I’m going to miss my closest friends, and I’m really going to miss performing.”

Also on May 29, the swim team held their banquet at Saddleback’s teachers’ lounge. All the Saddleback swimmers received at least a certificate. Some swimmers received a special trophy for “MVP,” “Rookie of the year,” “Most improved,” and other accomplishments. The night was concluded when everyone brought food to eat, which included pasta, pizza, fried chicken, cookies, and brownies.

On June 5, 2015, the Saddleback Performance Ensemble held their annual banquet at the Delhi Center and began at 5:30 p.m. The students were served food from Stonefire Grill and the members of the Band Boosters, also known as the parents of students in band, helped serve the food. Band teacher Mr. Dylan Harlan announced the award recipients for awards such as “Most Improved” and “Best Section.” The night concluded with a slideshow made by Mr. Harlan to recap all of the events from the year.
