“I was really excited for the asking because a lot of curious people stopped to watch. Once it began I tried to play dead but Gil cracked a few jokes in the skit and I couldn’t resist laughing. The asking was great and Ria did an awesome job of “investigating”,” senior Jackson Zagurski said.

Her ribbon dance was inspired by the revered mythical creature and this year’s Chinese zodiac sign, the dragon. “My ribbon symbolized a dragon flying in the air. My outfit was [also] inspired by the dragon, the color was the same color as my ribbon, but on the shoulder there were some details like dragon scales,” Huang said. “I liked how there were a lot of people in the audience and it was just really fun to perform.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_0964-1-600x387.jpg)
