Homecoming
Fall is once again Upon us, and that means that Homecoming celebrations are Just around the corner. Homecoming is an American tradition each September and October for high schools and colleges where they celebrate their School spirit with a football game and other celebrations. I remember the homecoming events when I was in school. First, there was the election of a homecoming king and queen. Each class had its own representative, one boy and one girl, usually the most popular Jock and the cutest Cheerleader. Needless to say, I was neither, so I never Stood a chance of being elected! The king and queen, though, were always from the Senior class.
All the events led up to The big game, played on a Friday night or Saturday afternoon, always a Home game For the school celebrating their homecoming. In my school, we had a Pep rally the day before the game, where the cheerleaders and Dance team Would Do their thing on the stage. We also had a small Parade before the game, where all the homecoming royalty and the Marching band Would go around the track of the stadium where the game was held, Cheered on by Alumni, parents, and students. Then we would watch the football game, which at my school, we usually lost.
