RAT Q&A: Suchir Gupta

Grade: 12

1. What is your act?

“Senior guys synchronized swimming.”

2. How did you prepare?

“We watched a Youtube video of 5th graders doing it and then practiced it at rehearsal after our pre-game pump up huddle.”

3. What made you audition with your act?

“We wanted to continue the tradition because Ali’s older brother, Humzah, did a similar act when he was a senior.”

4. How do you feel about cilantro?

“Good. It’s a respectable herb—not too bold, but it makes its presence known. I like that.”

5. Money, power, or good looks: which would you rather have an unlimited supply of and why?

“I do not concern myself with the acquisition of clout, thank you for your inquiry.”

6. Are you friends with the stage?

“Yeah, the stage is my BFF.”

7. Tell us the moment you were selected for RAT.

“There wasn’t really a selection process. We just decided to do the act and then showed up at rehearsal.”
