Homecoming week was full of spirit, talent, and royalty, especially on Monday and Friday, because it was homecoming week!

Homecoming week consisted of two coronations, one on Monday and Friday. The coronations are to get students excited for the homecoming game on Friday against Coon Rapids and the dance on Saturday night.

Monday was casual business day. It was also the first coronation for homecoming week. The morning was filled with talent and royalty. It began with the introduction of two Blaine High School students, Whitney Niete (12) and Hanna Stratton (10), performing ‘Love Story’. It was followed by the royal nominees walk and speeches.

The homecoming nominees are: Michael Voit (12), Alex Brown (12), Elizabeth Richards (12), Mike Bringgold (12), Kunie Ayinde (12), Peyton Meade (12), Colton Nelson (12), Karah Jolly (12), Naji Al-Araby (12), and TJ Busterass (12). Congratulations to Al-Araby and Richards for winning homecoming king and queen of 2012!

The royal walk of this years king and queen followed. As always, the freshmen stood up too early and were boo’ed. Next was an amazing perforance by Eric Entsinger (11), who performed a song titled ‘Radio’. The coronation ended on a fantastic note, with a performance by Jake Bakken (12) and Mary Swanson (12).
