Midnight Mascarade

For many students in the Rocklin community, this past Friday was not only Halloween but the night of their homecoming game as well. Friday, October 31 was Whitney High School's homecoming game. They played El Dorado high school.The stands were quite packed although the rain poured upon the crowd throughout the varsity game. After I was completely drenched from head to toe i decided to leave the game. Later I found out that Whitney completely blew their opponents out of the water, scoring 49 points and not allowing El Dorado to score at all.

In present times it appears that students care much more about the dance than they do the game. Whitney's dance was themed "Midnight Mascarade", however the wearing of masks was not permitted. The hours of the dance were also different then our Rocklin High School dances.

It went from 7:30- 10:30, somewhat akward times if you ask me. getting into the dance took about an hour as well. This appeared to be largely do to a new way they are enforcing their freak dancing policy. They put a hot pink paper bracelet on your wrist (which was unfortunately in your pictures) similar to something that you get a sky zone or sun splash. If you got caught freak dancing they cut the band off as your warning. If you were found freak dancing again without a braclet you got kicked out. I think this is a very clever way to enforce the school's freak dancing policy, however I wish they could have figured out a way to put the bands on faster.

Despite my minor disatisfactions with their homecoming dance, overall I found both the game and the dance very enjoyable, worthwhile uses of my time.
