Lawrence Community Pride Leads to 49-6 Homecoming Game Victory

School and community spirit were spread all around during Lawrence High School’s 2008 Homecoming activities and game. A pep rally, bonfire, dance, and parade were among the highlights of the celebration, and to top it all off, the Golden Tornadoes defeated the Sewanhaka Indians with a 49-6 victory and four touchdowns from quarterback John Kinder.

The marching band, cheerleaders and colorguards had a busy weekend, performing at the afternoon pep rally on October 17th, the bonfire later that evening, and in the parade and during the game the next day. All participants did an excellent job spreading cheer among the crowds and boosting the blue and gold enthusiasm that is characteristic of Lawrence. The pep rally and bonfire were excellent ways for students and staff members to come together in support of their district.

The traditional Homecoming Parade kicked off at Lawrence Middle School and followed a route that led to the High School. As in years past, each school was represented, with principals and students from Schools Number Two, Four, Five, and Six proudly displaying decorative banners and wearing shirts with their building’s logo. Those from Lawrence Middle and High Schools were also major contributors to the parade, providing music and sporting floats and banners for various student organizations. The Royal Court, which included King Joe Kenny and Queen Jobeth Dutra, along with Princes Josh Ingram, Tremaine Moore, Mauriece Moore, and Jagger Corcione, and Princesses Brittany Bent, Catherine Kenny, Viviana Vasquez, and Monika Patel, also led the parade. The marching band kept everyone moving with enjoyable sounds as they filed through the neighborhood and finally through the High School gates.

Lawrence continued its tradition of honoring a “Grand Marhsall,” and presented this year’s title to Mr. Jimmy Mazzitelli. Throughout the remainder of the day, the bleachers were filled with those rooting for the Golden Tornadoes Football Team. The cheerleaders, colorguards and marching band members took over during halftime, putting on an exciting and entertaining show. Congrats Blue and Gold!
