A great deal of dedication towards building the float and practicing the marches, for the bands present, was evident. Along with the marching bands and floats, cars with the Homecoming princes and princesses drove by along with the winners of the homecoming proposal contest. The Wells Middle School marching band and the mascots from elementary schools across Dublin came out to feature their work over the past few years and marched alongside the Dublin High marching band and cheer team. Undoubtedly the loudest chanting came from the freshman, perhaps because they wanted to make their presence known as newcomers to the school. All of the grades came together to loudly express who the superior class was and it was a true display of school spirit.
Freshmen had the theme of “Under the Clouds” (based on the movie Up ), the Sophomores had “Under the Stars” (based on Hollywood and movies in general), the Juniors had “Under the Radar” (based on aliens and Area 51), and the Seniors had “Under the Bed” (based on the movie Monsters Inc. This year’s floats all had themes that involved the Under the “topic”. The parade is celebrated with a great deal of pizazz and involves all the classes marching down Village Parkway, triumphant and heads held high with their class floats behind them. The activities that are scattered throughout the week are one of the great traditions here at Dublin High such as the Homecoming dance, football game, skit night, spirit days, carnival, and the parade.
Homecoming week is a time at Dublin High when students are diverted from their usual busy schedules and instead are deeply immersed in an environment of intense school spirit. Anish Shivamurthy, Staff Writer | October 17, 2019
