Homecoming at Trinity is a cross between what most people know as Homecoming and Prom. The Homecoming festivities follow a night of basketball. In this case, the Varsity Girls played first, then the Varsity boys and finally the JV boys. This is just the reverse of a normal night, but it gives all the players a chance to get ready for Homecoming. Homecoming follows about an hour after the games end as the gym has to be converted and the official photos are taken. The parents are all sitting in the front in chairs on the floor and everyone else is in the bleachers. This year’s theme was Jewels of the Nile and the gym was decorated with pyramids and camels, of course the Homecoming participants were the jewels in this case. There was of course an opening prayer and then each couple walked down the main aisle and stepped up onto the platform. The girls were given away by their father and then each student’s favorite bible quote and regular quote were read. At the end of the evening, the King and Queen were announced. Alex and Virginia did not win but were by far the best looking couple. 🙂 Of course since it is Free Will Baptist, there was no dancing, just cake and punch afterwards.
