StuCo started working on the Homecoming dance early; the Shanghai Knights theme was picked at the StuCo breakfast at the end of the 08-09 school year.

It will be held from 7-10 p.m in the large gymnasium on Sept. 26. Last years dance was a huge success with approximately 1,200 people attending.

StuCo has over 200 members, six officers and eight cabinet members working on getting Homecoming ready.

“We have a great group of cabinet members,” StuCo sponsor Shelly Grimshaw said. “They are working really hard and it will be really good.”

Just like last year, there will be a big back drop, a refreshment room and tents to dance under. The same DJ that played at Snowcoming has been hired to play.

“We will be working closely with the DJ, making a play list,” StuCo president senior Crystal Friedman said, “And making sure we have a variety of music that people will like dancing to.”

Early bird tickets were sold for $15 last week and regularly priced tickets are being sold for $20 this week. Approximately 1,200 tickets were sold last year and StuCo estimates a similar number will be sold this year.

“I am excited because we are putting a lot of work into it,” senior cabinet member Kyle Morris said. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
