Homecoming week!!!!

Homecoming W E E K

That's right. Week. Not day, not game, week. At Sparta (which has the best homecoming around) we literally make it a week long ordeal (no negative connotation on the word ordeal either).
Homecoming is my favorite day/week/thing of the whole entire year!
The Sparta Nation does homecoming like no other.
Every year there is a different theme. All the grades moving through the ranks waiting until they get to be in the senior section wearing their black shirts and hopefully dominating their way to victory and the red apple!
My freshmen year we had 'music' and we killed it rocking out to some elevator music.... yeah, that's right, for freshmen we did pretty darn good.
My sophomore year the theme was 'disney movies' and my class chose toy story.
Junior came along and the theme was 'continents' and my class had Africa.
And finally senior year, 'musicals'. And the senior class chose Rock of Ages. I won't lie to you, I was uber excited to dress up like a groupie!
I was a 4 year mock rock participant and loved it every single time. The practices may be difficult sometimes and frustrating but in the end it's amazing to watch a grade come together and do something so dang cool!

In addition I've perfromed a homecoming routine during the homecoming assembly all four years of high school as a cheerleader. I've got some prettty good memories from that too.
I'm literally estatic that our grade finally had our day and won the red apple, and by a large margin too. Our grade can finally put an end to all the talk about how we lost Sparty Cup in 8th grade because we creamed the juniors this year!

Two of my very best friends were on the homecoming court this year and I made a pretty rockin' sign to support them during the formal assembly. I'm so proud of all of my friends! They're amazing and your friends are definitely a big part of homecoming, because who better to spend my favorite time of year with thatn with my favorite people?

We may have lost the game but our student section was out in full force, just like they always are. If Sparta does one thing right it's students supporting other students. At every event I've ever been to there have been at least a few students their to support their fellow Spartans.

Also, the homecoming dance. Who doesn't love a good dance. I've never had so much fun as I did this year at my senior homecoming. I literally did not realize that the dance was over until the dj anounced that their were only two songs left. I loved my dress, had a great date, went to dinner with a great group of people, and had a blast at the bonfire afterward where we played would you rather :)

I'm sad that this was my last homecoming because this a great part of my life that's drawing to a close, but I couldn't have ended on a better note.

Homecoming was perfect!
