Grand Poetry Slam-- By Joseph Hernandez

7:30 at Club Illuminati--- we began with the Open Mic. Six people,
including myself, went on stage and performed what they had to warm up
the crowd. At 8:00, we began the competition with nine competitors.
Their names Tano, Raul, James, Colton, Terri, Daniel, Javier, Cristin,
and Monica. There were five judges with a dry erase board. The scores
can range from 0 to 10 with decimal points. A zero being, Umm... Okay?
A ten being one of the best things in the world! Out of the five judges,
you drop the highest score, the lowest score, and go from there. After
the first round was over, we lost four poets and were left with Raul, Terri,
James, Javier, and Daniel. The five came back up and did their thing.
We were left with Raul, James, and Daniel. After the finals we were
surprised with a SLAM OFF for second place! 1st Place RAUL 2nd Place
JAMES and due to time penalties 3rd Place DANIEL
