Black and Gold Attack!!!

It's Homecoming Week here and tonight was the Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally at the high school. This week's theme is "Black and Gold Attack." Marty opted not to join in the fun and Heather was practicing after school so I tagged along with Larry, Pat, Lisa, Cheney and Chandler for the evening. We met for dinner at Kirby's and headed to the school. Thank you, Cheney for riding with me so I wouldn't be lonely!!! You rock!

After dinner we watched the parade together with more friends and then walked over to the stadium for the pep rally.

Cheney being a great big brother and walking his sister Chandler to the parade:

Cheney is the biggest Matador fan I know, even if he does come in a small package! Some day we'll all be out there cheering for Cheney when he's on the football field.....

The Starsteppers float (sans Heather--she marched in the band)

I barely caught a glimpse of Heather as she marched with the Mighty Matador Marching Band.

The cheerleaders host a clinic for "Mini Mats" each year and all the participants help cheer and dance at the pep rally. This is Micayla, Heather's dance teacher's daughter.

The dance team (Starsteppers) perform:

It is a tradition at the end of every Homecoming Pep Rally that an "M" be lit on fire on the visitors' side of the stadium. All the lights are turned down low as it burns and the school song is sung.

Win big tomorrow night Mats!!!!
