On Friday mornings when the Allen Eagles play at home, the high school has a HUGE pep rally. I remember our pep rallies when I was in high school, they didn't even compare to the enormity of these! Most of the fun for us is seeing the band march down the main hallway of the school. I know that I am a big boob...don't have them, just am one...but the band moving through the massive hall, always moves me to tears. It is so amazing to watch. I am one proud band parent! The band files into the enormous gym and the student body and staff follow them. The band plays, the National Anthem is sung, cheerleaders cheer, dancers dance and fun is had by all. Being that our football team is the defending State Champs, there is added enthusiasm for the team...as if Texas Football needed increased enthusiasm.
One of the many traditions here in Texas are "Senior Jeans". Girls spend many hours the summer before their senior year, designing and crafting unique jeans. Here is our resident "Senior" in her custom crafted pair! We think she did a great job. The senior girls wear them for every home football game. Christine wore hers for the last time yesterday...secretly she's glad to never have to put them on again. Truth be told, they are a bit of a pain...kind of delicate. Anyway, I think it's a fun tradition. And she looks darling wearing them! (Just a bit biased, I am.)
The Friday night game was also "Senior's Night". All of the seniors who are a part of the escadrille or on the football team are recognized...notice the flower Christine is wearing...that is in honor of being a senior.
