Coronation is going to be black and white.
It's part of this year's Homecoming theme “Soaring through time,” according to Moriah Gerber, Student Council president.
“Coronation is going to be in the past. It’s going to be all black-and-white themed and it’s blasting through the ages,” she explained. “By the time you get to the end of the week, which is the dance you’re going to be in the future.”
Homecoming activities are Monday, Oct. 6 through Saturday, Oct. 11. The week's dress-up days follow students' progression through time:
Monday: “Babies are us” – students wear pajamas.
Tuesday: “Future you” – students wear college apparel.
Wednesday: “Your life in color” – students wear Powder Puff colors for their corresponding grade.
Thursday: “Senior citizen day” – students dress like seniors.
Friday: “Hawk pride day” – students wear Hawks apparel and colors.
Gerber said the school will also be creating a time capsule during lunch periods. Each grade will have their own capsule and they will be stored in an office for viewing.
The homecoming king and queen will be crowned during coronation at 7 p.m., Oct. 6 in the high school auditorium.
Gerber said coronation will be black and white to make it seem as though students are watching a black and white movie and will be reminiscent of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. “Our announcers will be dressed for the occasion. There’s going to be old fashioned music when you first walk in,” she said.
The court will be introduced and the members will play games in front of the school as they've done in past years. However, this year there will be more audience participation. Baby pictures of the homecoming court members will be displayed and the audience will have to guess which person the picture belongs to. Students can scan a QR code with their phones which will direct them to a website where they can pick their option, according to Gerber.
On Oct. 8, DECA is hosting a Powder Puff football game at the Chaska High School football field. The freshman versus sophomore game begins at 7 p.m., followed by the junior verses senior game.
Pep fests will be held on Oct. 9 and 10 and include court members playing more games, getting the school fired up for Friday's 7 p.m. football game verses Bloomington Kennedy and a performance from the dance team, Gerber said.
The Homecoming parade will be at 4 p.m. Friday in downtown Chaska. Luke Standbrook, Student Council secretary, said he's expecting around 25 floats this year. He's been trying to get a wide variety of organizations from the high school and the community involved in the parade. “This year I want to show our town all the aspects of our high school, instead of just sports and some activities,” he said.
The parade will include this year's inductees for the Chaska High School Hall of Fame, who will also be announced during the football game. The 2014 inductees are Dan Pelowski, Cari Meister, Nathan Pelowski, Mindy Hansen, Rachael (Schmieg) Hovey, Brady Borner and Gregg Robert Schneider, said Jon Summer, Chaska High School athletics administrator.
Saturday, Oct. 11 will be filled with activities, starting with the hall of fame festivities. There will be a meet and greet at 11:30 a.m. followed by the luncheon at noon and the hall of fame program at 1 p.m. Tickets are $15 if purchased before Oct. 6 and $25 at the door. They can be purchased at the high school activities office, Summer said.
Gerber said the Homecoming dance will be from 8-11 p.m. at the high school. The dance will be future-themed and will include black lights. “We're going to have silver things everywhere and we're going to have a time machine when people first walk in,” Gerber said.
