It was a glamorous moment at Plus two high school Bushenyi when over 9 schools with close to 3,000 students gathered for Miss Teens Western contest. Schools that were present include Eden International School, Kashaka girls, Bweranyangi, Standard High School and the hosts among others.
The event kicked off at around 10 am with fabulous music ambience putting the contestants, judges and students in mood for Miss Teens West 2013. This was to enable judges cover a big number of contestants present and to allow those that came from far to catch up with time.
As the day progressed, the whole event turned comical, as everybody seemed to crack the other’s ribs ranging from the judges to comedians and contestants themselves. Bright got on stage in style with his dance teaser and all people could not control themselves but to let go of laughter. He seemed to enjoy the home advantage as he threw most of his jokes in Lunyankole.
During his time, he enjoyed applause that was inevitable and reached a time when his jokes could not be heard anymore because people where screaming and laughing loud. “It was one of my favorite performances so-far this year,” said Bright.
One of the judges from the host school known by one name Asasiira seemed tougher than a judge but an economics teacher as she kept on throwing economics questions at the contestant e.g. GDP, inflation rate, per capita income etc. As if some one had annoyed her earlier on, she kept on asking questions rudely. Some contestants resorted to circumventing her questions by pretending not to hear her.
She too made people laugh when she asked one contestant what the most “denzily” populated African “cowunture” was. Many laughed and her 2 more questions could not be heard and this could have affected the contestant in question.
It was too much to laugh at also with the contestants, when one was asked for the capital city of France, one confidently answered Belgium, other was the President of Tanzania and she answered Uhuru Kenyatta just because the contestant before was asked for the president of Kenya. Cram work its pick.
The same applied to the judges, they asked what the GDP of Uganda was and this was an intriguing question because it calls for variable answers and funny enough not even them knew the answer. While back stage, one judge threw the same to the other and she assuredly gave Kale Kayihura as her answer mistaking it for IGP.
Among other artist that graced the event was the western favorite Tonix who was accompanied by Swangs Avenue Ntale however their applause by the audience could not even be compared to a young and talented Gruned who had all students on their foot forcing him to sign autographs for them.
The day could not end with out knowing who the Western Teens representative for Miss teens 2013 was. A form one chap from Eden International school Mbarara known as Daniel was crowned Miss Teen amidst tight competition from other schools. The first runner-up came from the same school.
