Homecoming Parade!

THE HOMECOMING PARADE WAS SO MUCH FUN.

As the HCSA Special Events Chair, I was completely responsible for organizing the Honors College float for the Homecoming Parade. Which meant coming up with a theme...creating a float...finding a trailer...finding a van...finding someone to drive it...keeping track of parade attendance...buying candy...buying makeup...SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY AND STRESS. BLEGH.

So up to today, the whole parade thing was just this big ball of stress that had to be dealt with. But doing the actual parade was AWESOME.

The theme was The Walking Dead, and so about 10 people were actual characters from the show (I WAS DEAD LORI!) and everyone else (maybe 20 or more people?) was a zombie! And we went all out with the ripped up clothing...fake blood...gore...skin peeling off...dark circles...detached limbs...livers...hearts...brains..guts...it was beautifully hideous.

And the whole time we're doing the parade, we had the creepy soundtrack of The Walking Dead blasting from the van! And there'd be fight sequences and screaming and zombies moaning and growling...oh my word it was awesome.

PICTURES TO BE POSTED SHORTLY!
