Here’s how to write the KEY SPEECHES of the Masquerade.

These speeches play an integral part of the socials and thus must be well-thought of, well-prepared and delivered with elegance.

Speech/Segment	Prompt/Guide	Sample/Introductory Wordings
Welcome Speech  (3-4 mins)	Greet everyone warmly and introduce the theme. Acknowledge the organizers, faculty, and attendees. Set the tone for the night by describing the elegance and mystery of the Gothic-Renaissance theme.	"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to a night of mystery, grandeur, and timeless elegance. Tonight, we step into a world where shadows and splendor intertwine—a Gothic-Renaissance Masquerade. Let us embrace the magic, the mystique, and the memories waiting to unfold!"
Closing Speech (3-4mins)	Reflect on the night’s highlights, emotions, and shared experiences. Express gratitude to those who made the event possible. End on an inspiring note, leaving a lasting impression.	"As the music fades and the masks come off, we take with us not just the glamour of tonight but the memories etched in our hearts. This night was not just an event—it was a celebration of who we are and the journey ahead. Thank you all for making this night truly unforgettable!"
Retrospection (4-6mins)	Take a sentimental look back at your journey as a batch. Highlight friendships, challenges, and growth. Use vivid imagery to capture the emotions of the past and the anticipation of the future.	"Once, we were just faces in a crowded hallway, strangers beneath our own unseen masks. But through time, laughter, and trials, we have become a family. Tonight, as we revel in this grand masquerade, let us not only celebrate the present but cherish the past that brought us here."

Now, here’s a thorough guide to help Grade 9 students (Prophets) craft their prophecies in a way that’s hilarious, theatrical, and fitting to the Gothic-Renaissance Masquerade theme while ensuring they remain lighthearted and respectful.

---

🎭 The Prophecy Writing Guide 🎭 

The prophecy is a 5- to 7-minute speech, so it is important to keep the audience engaged throughout its delivery.

🕰 Setting the Scene:
Your prophets are mystical seers gifted with the ability to peer into the future through visions, enchanted mirrors, or celestial whispers. Their prophecies must be dramatic, poetic, and theatrical, as if they are delivering grand revelations at a gothic-renaissance court.

💡 Tone & Style:

• Use old-fashioned, dramatic language (e.g., “Lo and behold! A fate most astonishing awaits thee!”)
• Make the jobs sound grand, mystical, or hilariously bizarre (e.g., “Keeper of the Moon’s Secret Cheese Vault” instead of just “Cheese Taster”)
• Include storytelling elements—not just what the job is, but how they got there.
• Maintain a gothic-renaissance flair (e.g., referencing stars, omens, fate, royal courts, etc.)

NOTE: Before announcing the prophecies, obtain the master list of all Grade 10 students and assign each one a job or profession. There is no need to know the student personally when choosing their prophecy—that's where the fun lies! The unpredictability makes it even more entertaining.

---

📝 Structure of the Prophecy

Section	What to Write	Example/Guiding Sentence
1. The Mysterious Introduction	Start with a dramatic opening to establish that a grand vision is about to be revealed.	"Hark! The winds whisper, the stars align, and through the mists of time, a revelation unfolds!"
2. Call the Subject by an Over-the-Top Title	Address the Grade 10 student as if they are destined for greatness (even if the job is funny).	"Oh, noble [Name], whose destiny sparkles brighter than a thousand chandeliers in the Grand Hall of the Forgotten Kings!"
3. Reveal Their Future Profession in a Theatrical Way	Announce their hilarious future job in an overly dramatic manner.	"In the great kingdom of the future, thou shalt be known as the Supreme Royal Bubble-Wrap Stomper, tasked with ridding the world of all unpopped bubbles!"
4. Explain How They Got There	Describe their journey (make it absurd yet entertaining).	"It was foretold that one day, after discovering the ineffable joy of stomping upon tiny air pockets, thou wouldst dedicate thine entire life to the noble cause of ensuring no bubble remains unpopped!"
5. Describe the Job with Gothic-Renaissance Elegance	Add flair to make it sound mystical or medieval.	"Day and night, clad in silken robes woven with the whispers of the wind, thou shalt traverse marble halls, seeking out fresh rolls of enchanted bubble-wrap..."
6. A Grand Conclusion	End with a bold, mystical statement about how their future is sealed by fate.	"So it is written in the celestial scrolls, and so it shall be! Rejoice, for thy destiny is as magnificent as it is inescapable!"

---

🔮 Tips for Performance 🔮

📜 Dress & Props: Encourage the prophets to wear flowing cloaks, ornate masks, and perhaps carry a mystical-looking scroll or crystal ball.

🎭 Dramatic Delivery:

• Use exaggerated hand gestures, as if conjuring visions from the beyond.
• Speak slowly and theatrically, as if revealing great secrets of the universe.
• Pause dramatically before announcing the future job.

✨ Encourage Creativity! Prophets can add more poetic elements, riddles, or even eerie sound effects to make their performance truly immersive.

GOOD LUCK writing your speeches dearies!

MASQUERADE COTILLION | Gothic-Renaissance

 Welcome to a world where movement tells a tale and music breathes life into mystery. In this blog, I will take you through the flow and concept of our dances—each one a piece of a grander story. 

The journey begins with intrigue and allure, deepens into conflict and revelation, and culminates in a finale that lingers long after the last note fades. To heighten the experience, I have carefully selected dramatic and evocative songs—some timeless, reborn in modern romantic renditions, and others carrying the weight of emotion in their contemporary melodies.

Let the masquerade begin.

GOTHIC-RENAISSANCE MASQUERADE

  

 One of the most awaited moments in an Asianista Socials is the AWARDING. The awards vary depending on the theme. However, since the Asianista Socials is an event to display discipline and self-reliance, no Asianista shall receive any award if he or she incurred an absence during rehearsals. Therefore, if you were absent during practices, you are disqualified to receive any award. It must also be very well remembered that you only qualify for the awards if you followed the theme DRESS CODE which is the fusion of the GOTHIC Era and the RENAISSANCE and most of all, a masquerade. Hence, the following must be part of the outfit to qualify for the awards other than the Gothic-Renaissance themed outfit: 

LADIES:

1. MASK  | Such that resembles the Gothic-Renaissance theme.

HOW TO PLAN FOR A SPEECH CHOIR

  

In order for you to come up with a systematic plan like this:

I must teach you the techniques. Then you can already label the parts of the poem you are to make a speech choir of. This could be the guide your group follows for systematic rehearsals.

HERE THEY ARE:

voice group

It is vital to classify members according to pitch. Hence, this could be the first thing you can do when you are met with your group for the first time.

refrain

One person reads the narrative and the rest of the group joins in the refrain.

Part of the selection shall be assigned as a refrain.

unison

The whole group reads the material together. A portion of the poem has to be selected for this technique.

antiphonal

The class is divided into two or more groups with each group being responsible for a certain part. Preferably do the grouping by voice classification: high, medium, low.

solo lines

Individuals read specific lines in appropriate places throughout the group activity. Be wise in deciding the solo lines technique to make it impactful and efficient

line around

More solo work where each line is taken by a different person in the group this could be done by picking out representatives for each voice category.

alternate

Deliver stanzas or paragraphs alternating slow and fast lines, loud and soft lines, low and high voices.

emphasis

This technique can de done in varied ways, however the must prominent is the use of echoing key words. Key words and phrases could also be recited in a louder and softer voice.

pause

Pause for a specified number of silent 'beats' before continuing the next line or phrase. This technique can catch the audience's attention.

effects

Use body percussion, clap, click or make appropriate sound effects at the end of lines, stanzas or paragraphs. Incorporate music when appropriate. Some even add gimmicks through short dramatizations to establish a storyline to establish a solid interpretation.

FAIRYTALE GALA COTILLION

  Asianista Socials customarily does its COTILLION like no other (- Thanks to the brilliant mind of Sir Rommel Alvarez who started this.) The dancing goes on with a storyline that transitions from the first group of dancers to the last. We usually have four groups.

Disclaimer: 

Our theme is FAIRY TALE but the music we use for the dancing and singing do not necessarily come from the fairytale movies or films. However, they are sound tracks used from other TV series or simply romantic music that are valuable in attaining the storyline.
