JS PROM PROGRAMME

EMCEES’ SCRIPT

 INTRODUCTION

D: Good evening ….ladies and gentlemen! Good evening, Kathleen

K: Good evening, too, Daniella! You look so stunning tonight.

D: Thanks and I can return the favor to you right away for you look so gorgeous in time for
this occasion.

K: Well…. There are one hundred and one reasons of getting dressed up elegantly and
ravishingly tonight.

D: You bet, Kathleen. Tonight is one of the highlights of SVDPA co-curricular events in the
pantheon of social graces & gregariousness!

K: WELCOME TO THE SVDPA JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM 2012!

D: The much-awaited social gathering of the junior and senior students of our school as
they are poised for take-off to the world of fashion, fad & craze!

K: Talking about fashion, fad and craze….are you familiar with the red carpet premiere in
international entertainment?

D: Yes, definitely, Kathleen! A red carpet premiere is the meeting of the stellar cast of
whatever film genre to be promoted for initial world screening. Like the red carpet
premiere nights held in Universal Studio and the famous Metro Goldwyn Mayer. The
attendees of such gatherings….what a power-house cast ever assembled!

K: Aside from paving the way for world cinema milestones, Red Carpet premiere is also
anchored on the annual international film & television recognition nights from the world
renowned award-giving bodies like Academy Award, Cannes Film Festival, MTV Music
Award, Golden Globe Award and many others.

D: And tonight….to suffice the call of the occasion…..this year’s JS Prom is geared towards
the Red Carpet Premiere as our thematic concept.

K: And without further ado…to kick the ball rolling, let’s paint the town red and roll out the
red carpet for the grand entrance of juniors and seniors as they take a walk of fame.

D: Let’s give them a resonating applause!

 Presentation of Prom Attendees 3rd & 4th Year Students

K: And… that wraps up the so-called SVDPA version of “Walk of Fame”. You guys are so hip and
fabulous.
D: And to formally commence this event, please rise and feel a few moments of solemnity for an
invocation to be led by Klein Santos

 Opening Prayer Klein Santos

K: Please remain standing and imbibe among ourselves the virtue of nationalism & patriotism
through the singing of Philippine National Anthem to be conducted by Denise Perez.

 National Anthem Denise Perez

D: You may now be seated.

K: Daniella, are you fond of watching red carpet premiere on velvet channel?

D: Yes. One of the most remarkable red carpet premiere nights I have watched was the Moscow
Premiere of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon last June 2011. That event was highlighted by
classy entrance of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley with her sought-after Gucci gown. How about you
Kathleen? Any favorite actress or entertainer who graced a certain Red Carpet premiere?

K: I remember the premiere night of the movie, “Black Swan” held in New York last year. Natalie
Portman, the winner of Academy Award Best Actress, added color to the event through her jaw-
dropping and breath-taking aura & style. She was simply fantastic during that night. Or Megan
Fox in promoting “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” in various countries. Her higher than
high slits in all her gowns from Donna Karan to Herve Leroux, Alberta Ferretti to Roberto Cavalli
were strikingly amazing.

D: Very well said Kathleen. You really did your intensive research on that, didn’t you? How about
the “Eclipse Premiere Night”which was a Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner
sandwich! And to explain further the central idea of this evening’s soiree, let’s all welcome the
Communications Officer of the Student Council, Samantha Camille Espiritu, for her opening
remarks.

K: On her way to the red carpet and to the walk of fame, let’s give her a resounding applause!

 Welcome Address Samantha Camille Espiritu

D: Thank you very much Sam for your inspiring message to all the attendees tonight. May your
words of wisdom be our moving spirit as we enjoy the night here in the Sulo Hotel. By the way,
Kathleen, what do you think is the essence of this event?
K: Well… in my own angle of vision, every JS Prom signifies the celebration of awards and
achievements of our senior students and these legacies should be handed over to the deserving
and trustworthy inheritors…..who else? The junior students!

D: Very good! Aside from that, all the scholastic emblems held by seniors for one school year
should be bequeathed to their honorable recipients----those symbols of academic victories, co-
curricular triumphs and team-building upheavals.

K: At this juncture, let’s now move on to the bequeathal ceremony.

D: To begin with, may we call in Ingrid Lacambacal & AJ Generoso for the bequeathal of the
symbolic torch.

 Turn-Over Ceremony
Symbolic Torch Ingrid Lacambacal & AJ Genoroso

D: Thank you Ingrid and AJ….our role models of hope & enlightenment. May we request the
presence of Frances Espanola and Lawrence Cabiling for the turn-over of the Holy Bible.

Holy Bible Frances Espanola & Lawrence Cabiling

K: Thanks to you Frances & Lawrence. Indeed, you are the xylems of values and spirituality. Let’s
proceed to the endorsement of the book of knowledge. May we request my fellow emcee
Daniella Salcedo and my classmate Pauline Camerino to come forward and deliver their tasks.

Book of Knowledge Daniella Salcedo & Pauline Camerino

K: To Daniella and Pauline, thank you so much. May you inspire all the Vincentians with your
impressive academic standing and well-balanced study habits.

D: Thank you Kathleen for recognizing our efforts to strive hard for academics. Our turnover
ceremony will not be complete if we don’t give stress to a cache of accomplishments of the
Student Council in various programs and projects. Towards the end of this School year, the SC
has left no stones unturned in empowering the student body and in serving the Vincentians in
every step of the way.

K: And such odyssey of service and leadership is about to end….to turn the hourglass upside down
for the new breed of student-leaders in the service of the Vincentians. And to make it happen,
may we hand in the microphones to the predecessor and the successor of SVDPA leadership by
example….SC President Karl Abellera and SC Vice President for Internal Affairs Ralph Canoy for
the passing of the golden key of responsibilities. Let’s give them a nice big hand!

Key of Responsibilities Karl Vincent Abellera & Ralph Canoy

 D: Thank you fellow SC Officers Karl & Ralph. We’re more than just halfway for this turnover
stuff. Furthermore, no JS Prom is considered memorable in the absence of candle-lighting
ceremony. Such ceremony symbolizes the hand-over of the candles to the next bearers so as to
lead & guide our school and its stakeholders in reaching their dreams and aspirations.

K: The flame atop of every paraffin elucidates the road to success of the outgoing seniors in the
next chapter of their academic career. At this point, let’s move onward and go forward to the
Candle-Lighting Ceremony. We would like to call in the selected juniors & seniors to be led by
Leonor Artillaga & Victoria Ilagan for the said ceremony. Let’s give them a warm round of
applause.

 Candle-Lighting Ceremony Leonor Artillaga & Victoria Ilagan

D: Thank you guys for participating in that ceremony. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we
will be successful in whatever chosen field to be undertaken in the near future.

K: And to my fellow juniors or should I say incoming seniors, may we fulfill our noble obligations
to our school in general and to our fellow schoolmates in particular for the next academic year.

D: At this point in time, I am quite sure that everyone is excited to get the taste of luscious &
sumptuous food to be served for dinner by the accommodating crew members of Sulo Hotel.

K: So before we prolong such “digestive revolution” inside us, we are now declaring with full
force that….”IT’S EATING TIME!”

D: Let’s enjoy the food in observance of the table etiquette as usual. Happy Eating, everyone!
Bon appetite!

 Dinner

K: Good evening once again! Is the food great? Still craving for another serving? Seemingly,
everyone enjoys taking dinner so as to be all-set for the next part of the program.

D: That’s right, Kathleen! One of the most-awaited parts of this event is the traditional cotillion
de honor that serves as the prelude to the dancing portion of the Prom.

K: And to showcase the gracefulness and the inclination of the Vincentians tonight, let’s now
welcome the Cotillion de Honor dancers under the supervision of Mr. Edwin Acierto. Let’s give
them a big hand with grace and poise!

 Cotillion de Honor Selected 3rd Year & 4th Year Students

D: Thank you, cotillion de honor dancers for your awe-inspiring performance. You guys almost
moved heaven and earth in dancing!
 K: That gracefulness in social dances is probably included in the roster of specific legacies of the
Senior Class to be ceded to the Junior Class.

D: And speaking of legacies and bequests, may we request the Finance & Logistics Officer, Lea
Cabiling and the Chairperson for Academic Programs of the Student Council, David Romano
Perez for the reading, endorsement and acceptance of the Last Will & Testament.

 Last Will & Testament Lea Cabiling & David Perez

K: Thank you very much Lea & David. It is guaranteed that the last will and testament of the
Senior Class is now in good hands. We, the incoming Fourth Year students, are now committed
to exerting indefatigable effort in walking the beaten paths, so to speak.

D: Honestly, Kathleen, we don’t expect you to be like us, but we expect you to be one of us or
should I say “better than us”. We challenge you to soar high in all aspects but to keep you both
feet on the ground despite of meritorious achievements. These are your gargantuan roles as
would-be seniors!

K: Thanks for such nuggets of wisdom, Daniella. I could really imagine that you and your batch
mates will have a bright future a few years from now because of your God-given talents and
desirable traits. Senior Class….it’s you already!

D: Well…predicting outcomes of our future success is a joy to do but there is one effective way to
find out! Let our Class Prophet take her course in giving her fearless predictions and formidable
forecasts not based on Chinese astrology or tarot cards but merely on the ambitions & career
paths of my dear classmates.

K: Sounds great, Daniella. And to interpret the vibrations not from magic crystal ball but from
the sheer guts and will power of the seniors, may we request the presence of the SC Vice-
President for External Affairs, Ma. Ingrid Rei Lacambacal for the reading of the Seniors’ Class
Prophecy.

 Class Prophecy Ingrid Lacambacal

D: Thanks Ingrid for such eloquence to deliver the contents of our Prophecy. I have nothing to
say with regard to that but “Good Luck to all of us….and so be it!”

K: Your road to success will always be under construction. But, with your innate aptitude
coupled with great attitude, you can shape up your altitude with accuracy & fondness. Good
luck to the members of the Graduating Class 2012.

D: We’re almost done with the second part of this program. And to formally end this part and to
move on to the next exciting one, please join me in welcoming Ozion John Payba for his parting
words. Let’s give him a warm applause.
 Parting Words Ozion John Payba

K: Thank you OJ for reminding us of the party’s dos and don’ts. We’ll take note of that with no
ifs and buts. This we promise you!

D: Thanks OJ. You know Kathleen…I am kinda dead-eager to the next part of the program.
Young ladies…. let’s be in the know about our first dance partners for this evening.

K: So we should not keep their heels cool. May we call in Mr. Richard L. Alpahando, our
Guidance Counselor & Junior Class Adviser for the announcement of the first dance. A warm
round of applause for him please.

 Announcement of First Dance Mr. Richard Alpahando

Junior Class Adviser
Guidance Counselor

D: Thank you T. Richard, guys and girls. And to test more our dancing shoes’ strength and
endurance….

K: And get into the dance to the ultimate & bring down the house, we are now signing off for
awhile….

D: For us to cut a mean rug & shake our bodies. In short, to dance the night away! Guys & gals,
let’s get ready because it’s party-party time!
 Dance….Dance…Dance

K: Good evening once again, we would like to interrupt this dance party for a very special
announcement.

D: While we were having fun throughout the night, our distinguished Board of Judges started to
pick its choices for this year’s Prom King & Queen.

K: And we have now the results! To announce the Prom King and Queen for this year, we would
like to call in our Activity Coordinator and Senior Class Adviser, Mr. Edwin Acierto , to do the
honor. Let’s clap our hands for him!
