The PCHS Student Government Association hosted a successful week of Homecoming festivities that capped off with a starry “Under the Lights” Homecoming dance on October 17.

For one night only, white curtains and lanterns decked the PCHS gym as the hallway was transformed into the forest scenes depicted in the popular Disney film “Tangled.” SGA said 1100 tickets were sold.

But, before all that, the spirit was in the air for Homecoming Spirit Week. These were the dress-up themes for each day of the week:

• Friday, October 9: Jersey and Jorts Day

• Tuesday, October 13: Twin Day

• Wednesday, October 14: BBQ Dads vs Soccer Moms Day

• Thursday, October 15: Class Shirt Day (freshmen in green, sophomores in blue, juniors in orange, and seniors in pink)

• Friday, October 16: Parrish Out Day

The first three days were simply dress-up, but Thursday and Friday added some extra wrinkles into the fun. On Class Shirt Day, each grade level was given a color to wear, and then clashed in the Clash of Classes competition after school, with the sophomores taking home a donut party.

Parrish Out Day was simple: represent your home team. Bringing the gameday energy were the Blue Belles Dance Team, the PCHS Cheerleading squad, the Pride of Parrish Marching Band, and the Parrish Bulls Football team as the morning pep rally set the stage for an exciting Homecoming game between the Parrish Bulls and visiting IMG Academy Ascenders.

Though the Bulls fell short, the stands were packed with a raucous wave of pinked-out Bulls fans. And at halftime, they erupted as the winners of the Homecoming Court were announced.
