Mr. RHAM

Last Saturday, Mr. RHAM 2010 was held in the auditorium of the RHAM High School. Mr. RHAM is a humorous pagaent where males in RHAM High School can express their talent to be crowned, "Mr. RHAM".

This year's contestants included Larry Fawcett, Chad Avril, Scott Adamson, Mark Eels, Casey Zammitti, Nick Aubin and Cam D'auria all representing the class of 2010 with Mike Reardon representing the class of 2011. The event was MC'd by Alex Crockett and Christopher Langlois, both class of 2010.

The contestants all had to display their favorite sport as well as one of their talents.
Most of the sports were mock teams and clubs such as the, "Gardening Club," and the "Nerf Gun Squad." Some of the talents included, "Smoothie-making," "Rapping," and even,"Playing World of Warcraft." The boys knew not of embarrassment while performing their skits, they all took the liberty of making their skits as absurd as possible. To top it off all eight boys got together and danced, moving every joint in their bodies as wildly as they could.

In addition to some excellent performances by the contestants, the MCs - Alex Crocket and Chris Langlois - also helped the show keep its upbeat atmosphere even when skits were running dry. The duo played off of each other's comments and provided a great chemistry. Their chemistry spread beyond the stage into the crowd when they spoke with audience members and ended selecting Jason Tsokalas as an honorary fourth judge. Torwards the end of the show they even showed the audience what their writing sessions were like with a funny video laced with self-parody and all-around good humor.

The last event was the "Big Question." The boys were put on the spot to answer nerve-wracking questions. The majority of the answers revolved around chicken nuggets after Larry Fawcett answered that they were the best meal served in the RHAM cafeteria.

In the end, the judges selected Nick Aubin to win the title of "Mr. RHAM 2010." He was followed by Mike Reardon who earned second place and Scott Adamson in third. The rest of the contestants seemed content with their positions, because the real prize was just being there to experience such a memorable night.
