Little Red Riding Hood: Well, after three days of anticipation, I walked into the amphitheater expecting the glory of the senior performance. I was so excited!
Wolf: In the morning the decorations didn’t impress me as much as I thought they would, though.
RH: Yeah, the streams of red caution tape seemed a bit haphazardly strewn across the trees. But the tunnel was an original idea.
W: Oh, and their backdrop was really vibrant and definitely showed hard work. It set the stage for an impressive performance, although I was a bit disappointed with their opening airband.
RH: Oh, yeah. It didn’t have enough enthusiasm and was kind of mellow. But the characters’ entrance made up for it! The concept of the float was different and original.
W: I liked how the characters were true to each class’ theme and the costumes added authenticity. It was really easy to identify each class, and the freshmen were just adorable!
RH: Yeah, and it was good how every class had a role in the story, instead of just one class as the hero. It created the image of a united school, minus the constant bickering between the juniors and underclassmen.
W: But I felt like the theme of unity was pretty apparent with the plot and the unity airbands.
RH: It felt like they were really pushing this and it just got kind of redundant.
W: Yeah, the characters were stereotypical with the juniors portrayed as either not present or spacey. It was amusing, but after a while it got overdone. What did you think about the skit?
RH: It was easy to follow, but the plot had little to do with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Things got kind of tedious but it was a great way to reminisce about past Homecomings and unite the class along the way.
W: Yeah, the recaps of their adventures in past years were pretty innovative. But the part that stuck in my mind was Carlton’s dancing! I could watch him dance all day.
RH: I thought the colorguard airbands were pretty creative too. However, the wind didn’t do them justice.
W: Yeah, and it was nice to see the incorporation of other classes in their dances.
RH: And who could forget the suggestive boy’s booty dance? A lot of jaws were on the ground, I’m sure.
W: Oh geez, that was… interesting. The annual girl’s booty dance had impact, but lacked coordination among the rows. As always, it impressed by numbers more than anything.
RH: Although there were some glitches in the performance, it showed hard work and a firm dedication to the Homecoming spirit.
W: Overall, Seniors’ Day Off was a strong finish to their high school career. It’s definitely something that the seniors will remember for a long time.

The decorations, with the balloons and the tunnel were nice. However, I'm not sure if they were worth the trade off of decreased visibility throughout the ampitheatre.
What happened at the end? That was the most anticlimactic homecoming I've ever seen!
Administration cut us off. We didn't even get to do our ending.
Wait, so you didn't get to finish the whole skit? That really sucks dude. :(
While that is unfortunate, going overtime is one of the top priorities that should be planned around and should be rehearsed arduously to make sure that with cheering/transitions/etc. your skit and/or airbands don't get cut off by Admin.
oh please, dont be hating
I disagree. There was just too much talent in the senior class to fit into the time, and the admin should have been a little nicer about it and let them finish.
they would have finished if everyone didnt take so long cheering. they actually took time to wait until it was quiet so people could hear their lines
the ending cut off because the whole skit itself with airband exceeded time limit. The last dance had only 40 seconds left of it. SENIORS ROCKED IT TODAY! GOOOD JOB
to The Best:
we went past the bell, Larsen made us stop
The ending was cut off because the seniors went overtime; there were too many airbands and the transitions were a little slow. But i think they were able to pull it off and the freshmen characters were adorable! Yes, there were a few inappropriate scenes like in the boy's booty but i thought they were hilarious.
mmm and yeah decorations could have been a bit better.
The transitions were actually VERY fast. The next airband was always entering as the last airband ended. There was only one situation where the transition was a little slow, and that was because a good amount of members had to change clothes for the next airband. Unfortunately, people cannot completely change their outfits as fast as 1, 2
I feel like this review was trying to pick at the smallest things that were wrong with Senior day. Lack of enthusiasm is honestly the biggest bull ever. Were we watching the same performance?
I admit the skit went slow, but there was so much cheer time that it was pretty much inevitable.
Boy's booty was a bit racy. Like it should be. It was nonetheless hilarious and had parents chuckling too.
i agree. no one has anything to say because seniors as usual outshined all the other classes. and as for cheering....they were outrageously loud.
This article did give you guys a lot of props though.
not really. For every one positive line, they have to put in two negative ones.
forreal. compared to the junior review, this one is harsh.
Honestly, the seniors did an amazing job. They had so much spirit and alot more compared to previous years. It's insane how supportive their class was. Definitely deserve 1st place.
Alot more compared to who's previous years? 09 had much more spirit (within their class, of course it's not school spirit when you rip on '10 too much). '11 has always had solid spirit though!
LACK OF ENTHUSIASM?!!?!?!?!?!? OKAY IF THERE IS ONE THING THE JUNIORS HAD IT WAS ENTHUSIASM!!! i dont know anyone who hadnt lost their voice. kay yeah haphazard deco OKAY MAYBE. but seriously lack of enthusiam?!!!? you might want to get you ears checked. AND NO MENTION OF THE HIP HOP AIRBANDS?!!!!!! dude CLASS OF ELEVEN ROCKEDDDDDDD ITTTTTTTTTTT
seniors**
HAHA. didn't they cancel boy's speedo a few years back? and now they're cancelling boys booty altogether?
If that picture shows lack of enthusiasm then I want to know your definition of enthusiasm
