A couple won a root beer chugging contest, and a student won $100 in a lip-sync contest, LBCC held these events for their St. Patrick’s day celebration on March 13.
The lip sync contest offered $100 for the first place prize, $75 for second place, and $50 for third and we’re being judged by a group of four judges.
Student Andrea Rodriguez won 1st place performing “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Heidi Alsangak took 2nd with “I wanna dance with somebody”, and third place was taken by Myra Soriano performing “I’m the bad guy.”
The Order of Tong, also participated with 4 for their members collectively singing “My girl.”
The root beer chugging contest followed with six girls and five boys participating.
To win the root beer chugging contest, the contestant needed to drink a 32oz of root beer without spilling a majority of it and not regurgitating it.
Yvette DeLeon was the first of the girls to finish and took home a bright big chain that says ‘Lucky’ on it.
“I’ve been on a soda detox for the longest so I’m surprised I won,” said Deleon.
The boys contest took lest time as Joshua De La Paz was taking the lead in the beginning.
De La Paz sealed the first place spot after fighting back regurgitation.
“It was one of the nastiest things I’ve done this year,” said De La Paz.
The lip sync contest was originally scheduled to start at 11 a.m. but after delays from setting it up, the contest kicked off the day around 12 p.m.
The delay didn’t stop students from participating and coming out to support one another with the audience growing more as time went.
