HOMECOMING Even though Tech was beaten by Arkansas, 45-13, in the homecom- ing game, 47,520 spirited fans were on hand cheering for the Red Raiders. For the first time, the Homecoming Queen was crowned at halftime instead of during a pregame ceremony. The 1989 Home- coming Queen was Andra Jackson, a human resources family studies major from San Angelo. Halftime was one highlight of the eve- ning. During the band ' s spectacular lights-out performance, neon green lights fixed onto band members ' hats were the only thing visible. Band member Sherry Gamelin said the neon tubes gave off more light than ex- pected, so reading music and marching were not a problem. The show also surprised many fans. I wasn ' t expecting a pitch-black halftime, just the band ' s usual songs and marches, said Matt Maples, a freshman education major from Fort Worth. But the neon lights really looked awesome. The Masked Rider also circled the field clad in lights. Homecoming added new dimensions to past traditions. For years. Tech ' s stu- dents and alumni will reflect on the addi- tions and perhaps add more of their own. —Melissa Valentine Raider Red and a friend dance to tunes played by the Intentions and ttie Nelsons at the first Blanket Bonfire Concert, which preceded the homecoming bonfire.
