Homecoming

Once every year every High School in the country have their homecoming. For those of you who don't know what this is, (which might be a lot of you ;)) its basicly a celebration at the end of the football season. Friday evening, the football team play their homecoming-game, which has great prestige. On our game there were about 2500 people in the stands, which is equal to more than 80% of Deltas population. Before the game, each player gets introduced with its parents.

The homecoming dance is held the evening after the game. This is a little formal, so you are expected to dress up. Before the dance, the homecoming king/queen (which has been voted by the students weeks in advance) is driven around the town and to the dance in a very fancy convertible, before beeing escorted to the dance.

That was the forman part. Personally I had a great time, and here is what I did on this saturday in the middle of October:

2,5 hours before the dance, me and my family + Nathan (designated photographer) went to a beautiful place out in the woods called Oak Valley for some lovley family pictures. (One of the reasons were constant spamming in request of a family picture from my REAL mom) Later on, a lot of my friends showed up as well for some group pictures as well. I got a lot of great pics, and here are some of them:

After pictures, a group of us 'kids' went to a fancy resturant for a meal. It was a very nice place, the food was very good, but it was not up to my standards when it comes to food. Not that my standards are high or anything special, I just request one thing. Enough food. After paying 15 dollars on what I thought were a beef steak, I got a couple of tiny pices of cutted meat. The "beef steak" were no bigger than half my hand in full size. Still starving, we drove on to the dance. I don't have any pics from the actuall dance, because I turned in my camera, as I didn't boughter dancing with it in my pocket. It was as you can imagine - a DJ plaing some songs, keeping the party goin', 50*C and almost no air, so we had to go outside every 15 min not to die from a heathstroke. After 5 hours in the party-sauna, we were tired to death, so next stop home. You might think now was the time to sleep, but your wrong! With the beat still beating in my head I had no choise but to play some lovely guitar hero. And some turned in to a lot. Tired as I was I did not have the power to lay down the guitar, so I ended up playing most of the night before my body just shut down. A perfect ending to a beautiful day.
