Get Lit Competition 2017

 

The DPMHS Get Lit team went to the competition at the LA theatre in downtown LA, on Thursday, April 20th. The team made it to the Semi-Final for the first time ever. The event was an all day affair lead by Mr. Baer. Here are some photos of the team giving it there all.

My experience at Get Lit was an unforgettable one. The competition
although competitive, was very fun. It was very interesting listening
to other people’s poetry and learning the meaning behind them. What
was very unforgettable about the competition was how we made it to the
second round. Not only was it an accomplishment for us, but it was our
first time making it to the second round. This not only made the
entire team proud of all the hard work we did, but it also showed
other schools that we are not “that school that came and never wins”.
This victory made Mr. Baer cry in joy. Although we won the first
round, the second round consisted of other very talented poets, and
even though are group had very very powerful poets, it deemed no match
for the other poets in the second round. We were just happy to make it
to the second round and perform. I am very proud and happy I got to
participate in this event.
