Homecoming • 29 Acts of Pride The team effort let Greisen and company control the game from start to finish. The domination of Southwest Baptist was a testament to Northwest preparation in the week before the contest. Preparation was key for everyone who participated in Homecoming. Though the football game was center stage for many during the weekend, the events that led up to the game had to be planned out and prepared for as well. Northwest ' s marching band was busy in the weeks that led up to Homecoming. The band ' s largest Homecoming obligation was the halftime show at the football game. We worked on our halftime show for two weeks, Angle Johnston said. We also practiced 9:30 a.m. to 1 1 a.m. on Walkout Day. The day of the Homecoming game also proved strenuous for Johnston, as she was forced to get up-close and personal with her band uniform. I was in my uniform from nine in the morning until 5: 1 5 at night, Johnston said. Though the marching band concentrated more on its halftime show, most other Northwest organizations that participated in Homecoming saved their work for the parade. Sigma Kappa member Tess Miller was a costume clown in the parade. Being in the parade was great because it showed me how many people on campus knew me, Miller said. It was great to make the little kids smile. Besides clowning around, sororities and fraternities also built floats for the parade. I had fun working on float because I got to know my sisters, even though it was cold and the guys never showed up, Miller said. Our head of float, Brooke Quigley, worked hard with no recognition. Other organizations also participated in the Homecoming parad e. Hudson Hall sponsored a band of kazoo players that marched through downtown Maryville. Unlike high school bands who were out for awards and recognition, the Famous First Hudson Hall Kazoo Band just wanted to have a good time. I wanted to do it because I went for hall council and I thought it would be fun, Meena Ewing said. All my friends were doing it. • continued on page 31
