Yesterday was the Maine South homecoming and the homecoming parade. Since I'm not in high school yet, I can't go to the dance, but I can participate in the homecoming parade. My dance team in the feeder team for the Maine South Hawkettes, and because are next in line for the high school team, we got to march right behind them! We had to meet at the cafeteria at 8:30 am, even though the parade didn't start until 10:00. They had bagels and juice for us in case we didn't eat before we came. We had time to stretch, do our makeup, and take lots of pictures. We had to wear fake eyelashes and bright red lipstick. The eyelashes are a pain to put on and even more of a hassle to try and keep them on the whole time. Slowly, one by one, we were all getting ready and making sure we were stretched. We didn't want anyone to pull any muscles or get injured in anyway. Finally, it was time to start getting in line to march. We made our way to the front of the school, right behind the Hawkettes and the Marching Band. We waited there for what seemed like forever! I was nervous because I was put up in the front line right behind the banner! I didn't want to mess up because then the girls behind me might mess up too. Plus, it wasn't just my team, but also the Juniors, the Youth, and the Minis. Then, I saw the Marching Band start to move, then the Hawkettes, and we started moving next. My excitement was building up! The poms we used were bright red, which were different than we had ever used before. The temperature was perfect, and the sun was shining bright. We marched all the way to Uptown Park Ridge. Part of the way there, I realized I was getting really hot and sweaty. My hands were also getting sweaty because of our poms. My face started to hurt from smiling too much. When the parade was over, I was relieved to finally take off my warm-up jacket and put those sweaty poms down. Up at the top is the picture we took after the parade. We hung around awhile and watched until the end of the parade. Afterwards, most of my team went to Noodles and Company to get lunch. We talked and had fun, but the best part was just being there with all of them. I had a great time and I can't wait until next year when i finally get to march with the Hawkettes, and not behind them!
