Every year for homecoming each grade does a skit usually related to the game. This year only one grade participated in making the class skits.
Carly Wilkerson spoke on the freshman’s skit saying, “we had some ideas but nobody could really agree on one” Wilkerson continued, “I think we definitely will (do a skit next year). We were kinda just caught off guard by it and we had no clue it was so quick.”
Sophomore Brayden Breckenridge reflected on the making of the class skit. “The sophomore skit is about the Mustangs challenging the Union Knights to a football game and poking at the Knights making them look bad or confused as they play.” There were some challenges that came in creating the skit saying they “didn’t have near enough time so we thought about something easier to do and just showed up at the field and made it up on the spot”.
Chase Wagaman said the junior class isn’t doing a skit because “we are protesting the way they are shown” he continued by saying,”we either want to do it in person or shown on the big screen during Spirit Night.” The junior class “will do one (next year) if they change how they show it.”
Senior Gavin VanGorp spoke on the senior class skit by saying,”We knew other classes weren’t doing it (the class skits).” This influenced the seniors to not make a skit for their final year. The senior class has made a skit every other year but VanGorp explained,”We were all kinda doing stuff” and got too busy to really worry about making one.
Class skits have steadily become less and less popular over the years along with other activities like the homecoming dance. Hopefully some changes can be made to increase excitement over some of these homecoming traditions.
