Though the events surrounding it make it special, the actual homecoming game is the base of all the excitement. The football team plays the largest part in homecoming. Their performances determine the overall outcome and attitude students have about the event. Besides the actual game, which is already being built up larger than life, many alumni return to see how the team is doing. For many players, homecoming equals pressure and hard practice.
Most students remember the royalty.
Although some students claim they would rather not be included in homecoming court, most everyone would like to see themselves in the limelight. Whether your school picks a queen from every grade or just one, it's always nice to see someone you know. Besides the act of voting, band and court members have to meet together to rehearse the procession. Also included in the process is the Student Council, which coordinates the actual entrance and crowning. Unforgettably, the spirit week floods into many students' minds when thinking of homecoming.
