Homecoming Themes

Homecoming is a time when the whole high school is brought together to celebrate the time of coming back to school. It’s a time everyone looks forward to, and a time where everyone goes crazy. The theme is one of the biggest parts of homecoming because it’s the way the school shows school spirit. Why is it then that every year the themes seem to get less and less exciting? Is it because people are running out of ideas? Is it because no one seems to care anymore?

Don’t get me wrong; I’m sure people put a lot of thought and effort into it, but that isn’t always enough to satisfy the whole student body. The past four years, the homecoming themes have seemed to become more and more pathetic, from Super Hero to Candy Land, and now, Through the Ages. It seems to me that every year it becomes harder and harder to enjoy homecoming because the themes aren’t fun anymore. I think what the school needs is someone who is creative and can come up with ideas that are entertaining and that make homecoming more fun instead of bringing it down. Homecoming is such a fun time during the year; it needs a theme that is also fun. I think this year has been one of the worst years for its homecoming theme because it was boring. People didn’t want to dress up or participate in activities because of the fact that the theme wasn’t enjoyable. All that I ask is that someone or something influences our next couple homecoming themes so that we can have a more exciting homecoming that is enjoyed by everyone.
