I am so looking forward to attending my homcoming, it's the

I went to Smith's Homecoming.

I have 2 words to say... We Won!!!!

Livingstone's band had a nice breakdown, but their horns were missing too many notes!

Smith's sound & breakdown was nice.

You mean to tell me you all allow the visiting band to perform during 1/2 time at homecoming?

We don't. Our 1/2time show is for our ALUMNI BAND and DANCERS to do their thang and the current band and dancers perform. The other band just has to sit in the stands and watch like the rest of us.

It's funny to see the SEASONED alumni come back perpin' like they are still on campus.

One week...IT'S GONNA BE ON!!!

We always do. We don't have an alumi band, but we've talked about getting one of those together. I, for one, am afraid to look all stiff and crazy, or even worse, like the old man in the club.

[ClassyLady]

Well, of course FAMU won their Homecoming Football Game and the Marching 100 put on a wonderful show.

The Greek Stepshow was really good too. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the men of Iota Phi Theta. They put on a great show and it was totally unexpected. I don't personaly know any of the Iota's at Fam and I must say that I underestimated their abilities.

Does anyone know who the official winners were? I can take a guess at it but I want anything that I post to be as accurate as it can be.

The Alumni Band is just a "concept" per se.

See, old heads (any former band members) come back and they get together like Thursday, Friday or so and decide what they are gonna do. They know they are gonna do the "GSU Breakdown", a song and then the "old" dancers (Orchesis) do a routine. It's tradition.

All the old band members at your school have to do is get together and plan something. This has been going on up there since I was a little girl. The old band members even use the current member's instruments.

ECSU's Homecoming 2001 this weekend was refreshing. I saw some classmates that I hadn't seen since we graduated(I can't believe it has been 10 years). We had a great time catching up.
We won our homecoming game this year against Livingstone.
Our homecoming stepshow is not a competition, we leaved that for the Spring. Every BGLO represented in full effect, except Iotas(because we don't have any on the yard). I must say a Big ZPHIIIIII!!!! to the ladies of the Alpha Gamma Chapter of ZPB Sorority, Inc. for repping the ladies of Finer Womanhood well. Greek Sisterly Love to the other sororities for doing a wonderful job also.

Hampton's Homecoming was off-da-hook! My emotions are so mixed...on the one hand I'm so SATISFIED that I went & saw all of those young boys & girls that became young men & women! On the other hand, I want it not to have happened & be coming up this weekend..so I can do it all over again!

There was SOOOOO much love! A lot of people's names slipped my mind, but just about EVERYONE looked the exact SAME! It was unbelievable...guys that we thought would never have enough money to by a greyhound ticket out of Hampton have MORTGAGES??? What???

People are married, having or have already had their kids! The new Student Union with its bowling alley, fitness center, game room, etc., visiting our old dorms, the water front....Oh, & then the "old school" party! It was like classes from 89-92 were represented! That was the most phenomenal part of the whole weekend. We stepped right back into time! I mean, there were no little young hoochies walking around in bras & panties (well..there was this girl with what looked like a bra on..but, I digress)...there wasn't a lot of freaks freakin' on the floor like you see in clubs now! Everyone was truly & geniunely enjoying themselves & each other. I think I only had one drink the whole night, which it usually takes me about 2 to unwind & get relaxed in the crowd I'm in...

Oh, & lesson #1 that I learned from this weekend, if you hear some crazy story about people from school...just take it with a grain of salt. There were several people that I'd had heard stuff about from various people, when I saw them this weekend & asked "how's that going?"..they were like "what? that's not true!"

I can sum up my weekend at Hampton's homecoming simply by saying: H-I-U! I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!!!!

Ps. I got in too late to see the stepshow on Friday, but Hampton won (of course, I heard this from someone else b/c we NEVER go into the game!)

FAMU's homecoming was tight. . .

I have to agree with, ClassyLady the Iota's did an excellent job at the stepshow. . I caught the tell end of their show, because they we stepped right after them. Unfortunatly with the way the did the prizes there were only three winners.
Overall winner ---the Iotas
1st runner up fraternity--The Beta Nu Chapter of A Phi A
1st runner up sorority--the Zeta's but I don't know where they were from.


If any one attened the step show and taped it, please let me know, because my battery cut off during the Iota's show, so our show as well as the kappa's are not on my tape.
