It was a bright and sunny day with many people cheering and wearing their blue and white school colors with a tremendous amount of pride as a parade of people come marching down the street from Founders Hall. Loud music boomed and many parents sat in the hot sun waiting for their children to walk past them.
This weekend we celebrated our Homecoming Weekend featuring a parade with floats and many students. During the parade, many Cabrini students got to show off their amazing talents, while they also showed lots of school spirit.
The homecoming was well attended and there were lots of people there having fun. In the beginning of the parade, people got lined up and everyone started cheering as the participants came marching down the streets.
There were many clubs that were represented at the parade, but it was disappointing that the parade did not last very long.
There should be more places where everyone stops to dance and perform, because they only stopped in one area, and the rest of the audience was spread around in different places along the streets of Cabrini. Many people in the parade displayed different opinions about what they liked and disliked about the parade.
Junior education major, Jessica Austin, said, “The Parade was a huge success. Everyone’s high energy showed Cabrini spirit. This year we had the opportunity to dance in the parade with the Cavalier Dance Company and it was fun!”
After the parade, everyone went to a community picnic and many students showed up to eat with their families. The food at the picnic was good, and there was a nice variety of food items to choose from.
The band that played during the picnic had a very good selection of music that was appropriate for people of all ages.
Despite the heat, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, laughing, and talking with their families during the picnic. It was a beautiful scene and everyone seemed to be content and smiling.
Throughout the parade, many parents of students, staff and Cabrini Cavaliers were showing off great spirit by wearing their Cabrini gear. The Cabrini Mascot was also included in the parade to help represent the spirit of Cabrini. The cheerleaders in the parade did their Cabrini Cheer, and everyone was smiling and clapping as they waved their pom poms in the air. Every group in the parade was wearing school colors and showing off all of their talents in unique ways. It was nice to see the whole school celebrate the spirit of Cabrini on such a beautiful day. Ashley Miller, sophomore exercise science major, said, “This year was my first year being in the parade.” She walked with the Cavalier Dance Company. She had a lot of fun, but wished it was longer! She looks forward to being in it during the rest of her years here at Cabrini.
Besides the parade, there were many other great homecoming events this past weekend. There was an ice cream social, a movie night, a dance, sports games, big prize bingo and homecoming mass.
All the other events went well; many people showed up, and everyone seemed happy during homecoming weekend. There was not much confusion this weekend, and everyone seemed to know exactly when and where all the events were occurring. In the end, homecoming weekend was a big success because everyone showed amazing Cabrini Spirit.
