The students living it up on the dance floor.
On October 4th, the homecoming dance was put together by the hardworking and creative leadership class, coordinated by Mrs. Dooley. It was a fun night for the Trojans to sing, eat and dance the night away with their friends. The theme of the night was “Once upon a HOCO.” People dressed in their favorite whimsical and fairy-tale attire.
Despite the DJ for the night being delayed, the leadership class was innovative and quickly got a speaker going, so the students could dance. Once he arrived, he played hits that everyone loved.
Throughout the dance, they played many popular and generational songs. From, “They Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar to line dancing songs like, “Cotton-Eyed Joe,” they had a wide variety of different genres and artists to have a little something for everyone there.
“My favorite song that they played at the dance was the cupid shuffle,” said sophomore Lilly Grant. “It’s a popular song that everyone knows.”
Thanks to the leadership students, they provided lots of fun snacks, such as sandwiches, cookies and even chicken nuggets, paired with cold drinks to wash them all down.
The Homecoming dance offers a way for students to celebrate their school spirit. At the dance, they announced the nominees for the running Homecoming court election.
In the senior court, Jazmine Roberts and Chayton Cheers, Kailyn Gore and Jordan Thomas, Faith McBryde and Cooper Wilson, Rowan Pruitt and Nick Brown, Madison Richardson and Nicholas Tantillo and last but not least Tengan Cossey and Caleb Gerald took their crowns.
The Junior court included Gabby Digenaro and Jermey Tapia, Aniyaah Jacobs and Keyondre Herring, Evalgelia Sathos and Garrison Abbot, Aysha Hatcher and Taydon Graft and Julissa Lujano and Kam Metters.
The Sophomore Prince and Princess are Mylee Sneed and Marlon Leon. The freshman Prince and Princes are Zoei King and Dustin Rodruguez.
The dance was wrapped up at ten after everyone danced the night away. They got to socialize and have fun with their classmates and friends.
“The dance was definitely a lot more fun than I expected,” said sophomore Emily Cox. “I got to dance with my friends and they actually played really good music that everyone knew.”
