I have been dieing to bring Thomas to one of our peprallies at Choctaw since last year and it finally happened on Friday. I figured I would bring him to the big one - the HomeComing peprally - which is a really big one complete with alumni, Homecoming court and of course the nationally known band - the CHS Stylemarchers! We dropped off Abby at school and then grabbed some breakfast together and headed over to school. Because I had a substitute for the day due to being the Senior class sponsor and having to spend the day assembling our float for the parade that night - Thomas I took our time and leisurely arrived at school for the morning peprally! Here we are leaving my classrooma & getting ready to head to the big "party"!
Doing the Indian "chop" as we listen to the band!
Because it was the Homecoming peprally, there was a chunk of time devoted to announcing the Homecoming court, grand marshall, alumni faculty, etc, and that was really hard for Thomas to pay attention to (rightfully so) - instead, we ducke!d out of sight and Thomas had a good time just climbing all around.
Here are my Senior Class officers (plus me in the center) and our awesome 2009 float!
Our hard work all put together just 1 hour before the big parade! Just a little background about the theme this year and what we built: "Indian Uprising: Return of the Tribe" is what we had to create a float based around... so, 1953 & 2010 are the first graduating class and the current seniors of CHS; pictures on front skirt are current senior pictures coupled with their parents' senior picture (who also attended CHS); teepee, arrows, fire with 4 characters (football player, cheerleaders, fan, and band member) dancing around the fire.
Video Clip - Thomas dancing in the center of the gym before the Peprally begins (but as the gym is filling up with students and fans). He did do a lot of dancing and clapping throughout it all. And of course, he got a lot of "oh, he is so adorable" comments. Enjoy!
