Picture Perfect: Homecoming '15
by THS Media Nick Cresswell
After an exciting night at Truman's first ever football game at the all new Truman Stadium and a very eventful morning at the annual Homecoming Parade, the students were ready for the main event: The dance. Students came directly from the game to the cafeteria to begin setting up for the dance. They worked tirelessly to make the dance as great as possible and did exactly that.
The day of the dance, the fully decorated cafeteria sat in silence; the calm before the storm. Promptly, at 7 p.m., students began linking up at the door to attend the dance to began their night of excitement.
Many popular songs and dances were being played throughout the night. Students were going absolutely insane, dancing their hearts out to their favorite songs. At about halfway through the dance, the King's Crowning began.
First, the Queen candidates walked across the newly divided crowd. Following them were the King candidates along with their mothers. The Kings lined up on stage and the winner was announced. To everyone's surprise, it was Senior, Peter Rahm who was crowned king. Rahm smiled with glee. Sharing the moment was Rahm’s mother who showed tears of joy during the announcement. Rahm enjoyed his court dance with the queen, senior Isabelle Rizi.
”Everybody say they didn't expect it but I truly didn't,” Rahm said “It's awesome to think that the student body thinks highly of me it means a lot!”
As the night began to die down, students continued to dance their hearts out. The lights finally turned on at exactly 10 o' clock and the DJ announced one more song would be played; "All in This Together" by the High School Musical cast. It was a fitting song to end a night of much excitement. The people attending the dance began to make their ways to a crowded parking lot while student council began to clean up.
After an amazing first home football game and an outstanding parade, the dance was the perfect piece to top off the weekend. Every student at Truman would agree that this was their most memorable and favorite Homecoming dance that they've ever been to.
