Members of the band drumline marched through the hallways, luring students and staff to the gymnasium, where they were welcomed by the pompon squad.
The rally featured contests, music, dance routines with pompon squad and football team members; and the introduction of the football team, as well as all other athletic teams, school organizations and the three foreign-exchange students: Gioia Gatto of Italy, Paula Palacios Moreno of Spain and Maxim Sergevevich Kvachyov of Kazakhstan.
Among the competitions between classes and staff was a hotdog-eating contest won by sophomore Alex Lembrich.
