Schools
Our first homecoming of the year, and it’s huge. We have another big dance at Seminole High School and another one at Sunlake.
You can bet where the stress level was with three equally large dances on the same date!
No worries, because all three went well.. but since this is MY blog, I’ll chat about MY dance. Ocoee High School did it big last year with Thrill da Playa of the 69 Boyz and this year was no exception. World-famous Cupid (Cupid Shuffle) came in to party with a surprise appearance from Eliseo of Orlando Superstar group, TREAL.
This year’s theme was Alice in Wonderland, and the school focused on making everything large… the tunnel that students walked in made them feel small, there was a giant chair from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party on the corner, giant playing card guards surrounded the gym… and this was all made by the students and sponsor, Wendy. They did such an amazing job! I was impressed.
Our spotlight was used to enhance the “larger than life” aspect, but also lit up Cupid during his performance. We also had a projection of a Cheshire Cat that appeared and disappeared, and had animated eyes that followed the students as they walked in. It looked too cool!
There are LOTS of photos, courtesy of my good friend Jenny from J-Walk Photography; the first few I shot (You can tell by the watermarks). My wife, Monica, rocked it out with the video.
The 2nd dance floor was closed due to the rain, but it’s OK because we all had a good time inside!
