Las bandas comenzaron su participación. Cuando Sheena subió al escenario, los estudiantes aplaudieron mucho. Después les tocó el turno a Nina y a Colette, las cuales estaban muy nerviosas:

_Ya sabes, Colette. No los hagamos bien, hagámoslo inolvidable –le dijo bajito Nina y Colette asintió. El silencio se hizo y Colette comenzó a tocar su batería: el escenario retumbó con las notas de Moby Dick, de Led Zeppelin, y todos gritaron eufóricos.

Evidentemente, el grupo de Nina y Colette ganó y el dinero del premio también lo utilizarían para la gran fiesta de graduación, la cual, seguramente sería la fiesta del año y sería tan inolvidable, que los muchachos la recordarían toda su vida.

HASTA UNA PRÓXIMA OPORTUNIDAD, AMIGOS

Retro Music Festival
It was only a few months before the end of the school year and as every year, all the fifth year students were preparing events with the idea of raising funds for the graduation party. They had already held food sales, raffles and a movie screening of “The Substance”, which had raised a certain amount of money, but they still needed to pay for the club and other things.
The organizing committee held a meeting at the home of one of the students to review and see what other ideas could be put into practice. After several ideas, Milú, who belonged to the committee, proposed:
_Why don't we have a retro music festival, where each band will have to pay their entry fee and the winner can win a cash prize? -he said and everyone liked Milú's idea.
Not only bands from the high school can participate, but also from other schools! -said Androi.
I think it's perfect. But we should compete too. -said Willy. So that there are no complaints, we can agree that the jury will be made up of one member from each participating group,” he said, and they all voted in favor of the proposal.
From that moment on, they began to advertise the event and the young people were immediately enthusiastic. Groups from other schools signed up and within a week they had more than 30 groups participating. The only problem they had was that they could not agree on who would represent them:
Why don't we choose Sheena to be the leader of our group? -said Willy.
Because Sheena already signed up her group and I doubt she wants to represent us,” said Milú bitterly.
Well, there's Nina. I know she would be delighted and there's also Colette,” assured Androi.
I don't know. They both need to polish themselves more. They're still new. Nina is very enthusiastic, but she's a long way from being like Sheena,” doubted Milú.
Well, the important thing is to have representation. So let's vote to see who agrees that Nina and Colette should represent us. Everyone raised their hands in favor, except Milú who saved his vote.
Upon learning of the nomination. Nina and Colette were happy, but also very scared:
_What if we don't get it right? -Colette asked Nina in rehearsals.
Of course we will do well! What's more, we'll make it unforgettable,” Nina assured her, always in high spirits.
The two girls may have lacked talent, but they had plenty of determination, so they rehearsed every day until they were exhausted. It was weeks of preparation, of rehearsals, but also of a lot of togetherness.
On the day of the festival, the young people were dressed in 70's and 80's clothes and decorated the high school with acetate records, magnetic tapes, posters of old artists and other objects. Happiness was in the air, as well as camaraderie and enthusiasm.
The bands began their participation. When Sheena took the stage, the students applauded loudly. Then it was the turn of Nina and Colette, both of whom were very nervous:
_You know, Colette. Let's not make it good, let's make it unforgettable,” Nina said softly and Colette nodded. Silence fell and Colette began to play her drums: the stage rumbled with the notes of Led Zeppelin's Moby Dick and everyone screamed with euphoria.
Evidently, Nina and Colette's group won and the prize money would also be used for the big graduation party, which would surely be the party of the year and would be so unforgettable that the boys would remember it all their lives.
