Every year, Trinity’s Student Council plans and hosts a Homecoming dance in conjunction with the Homecoming game. The weekend is filled with excitement and celebration, leaving lasting memories for all who attend.
Mrs. Shuba, one of the Student Council advisors in charge of Homecoming, states: “Homecoming is a very special event, and everyone is excited in one way or another with the combination of the game, dance and the spirit week. It’s just a great time of the school year.”
In past years, a theme relating to fall has been used; this year, a fresh new spin on the theme was presented by students during the planning process. The theme of this year’s Homecoming is Enchanted Forest, featuring low lighting, forest-inspired decor, and two DJs.
“Katherine Drezewski came to me with the original idea, then we presented it to Mrs. Shuba and Mrs. Willis, and they loved it,” says Senior Ella Ward.
Much time will be spent decorating and preparing the gymnasiums for the dance, as explained by Senior David Gill: “We hold a pep rally on the Friday before the dance. Once that is over, we spend the rest of the day decorating everything we can, excluding balloons, which come in Saturday, but everything else we do.”
During the pep rally on Friday, Oct. 3, Mr. Trinity will be crowned. In the running are Gill, Jase Hartley, Dominick Muraco, Ben Priest and Collin Reihner.
Later that evening, Trinity will play long-time rival Thomas Jefferson. During halftime, the Homecoming court will be announced and the queen crowned. On court are Freshmen representatives Mallory Piatt and Savannah Sebetich, Sophomores Mia Magnotta and Morgan Stimmell, and Juniors Rosalita Feriozzi and Taaliyah Wright. The Senior Homecoming Court members include Chloe Bricker, Drezewski, Cameron Johnson, Micha Mariana and Ella Ward.
The Homecoming Dance is being held in the high school’s gym on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. With the whimsical theme and the committee that planned it, this Homecoming is sure to be an enchanted event that leaves guests with lifelong magical memories.
Shuba states, “It is one of those high school memories that you never forget. The games, the dances, they all stick with you for many years after. It’s truly something unforgettable.”
