HOMECOMING PARADE & COMMITTEE SIGN UPS!

homecoming committee sign ups

homecoming themes

Homecoming is no joke at Peckenpaugh and planning for the festivities starts early in the month! Two sign up sheets join the Homecoming theme ballot box (that we swear has been there since late last month) in the cafeteria before breakfast.

The first list, a sign up sheet for the Parade Float Contest has space for multiple names beneath larger headers. The second sign up sheet beseeches students to assist Student Council in planning, set up and tear down for the upcoming Homecoming Dance by joining Homecoming Committee! And that box that's totally been there? Well, that's for dance themes. So after you've thrown on your booty shorts and signed a tater tot petition, why not put that extra ink to good use here, too?

How This Works

Parade Float Contest:

• On the 25th of October, Elflock Falls will host Peckenpaugh’s homecoming parade. The band will march, athletes will show off and groups of students can enter floats into the parade. Internally, Peckenpaugh runs a bit of a contest: a panel of staff and local community members vote on their favorites with winners receiving a variety of rewards.


• SIGNING UP:
  • A student group must have a minimum of four player characters in it. There is no maximum limit on the number of students who can collaborate on a float.
  
  
  • Each student may sign up for one float. You do not have to ride on the float during the parade, so band members and athletes may collaborate on floats.
  
  
  • In Character, students have from today to Sunday night to sign up. Out of Character you have until the first Check In post on Friday, Oct 11th.
  
  
  • Players may sign up as many characters as they’d like..
• THE FLOATS:
  • Some ideas for float-making groups: Whole House, House/Year, Dorm, Clubs, Teams, friend groups.
  
  
  • Players will be designing a float for their group to ride in the Homecoming Parade. Students are encouraged to create elaborate and magical scenes, but are not permitted to use potentially harmful magic (nothing that might cause a fire). Y’all’re wizards, so even if you’re working with minimal fundage, you can get creative!
  
  
  • Floats are propelled by magic, literally floating about three feet off the ground. Each group is supplied with a magical floating base so that float sizes are standard ⁠— about 8ft wide and 15ft long. Standard parade float size, even by muggle standards.
• CHECK-IN, POINTS & WINNING:
  • For the next two Fridays we will be posting up simple check-in posts to “report on the progress” of your team’s float. For each team member that checks in, we will afford a bonus to your overall score at the end of the month.
  
  
  • We will also award small bonuses for teams discussing how their float is going in character, so write those wards!
  
  
  • The final check will be the parade ic/ooc, itself, where you’ll receive one more bonus if every member of your team checks in on your float, and then your final score will be tallied and posted.
• We encourage you to coordinate groups either IC through journal posts or OOC in the Chatter section at the bottom of this post!

Homecoming Committee:

• IC, Students have from today until October 21st to sign up for Homecoming Committee. Volunteers will help with set up, decorating and tear down, but early sign ups will get to collaborate on things like dance theme.


• Student Council members are automatically committee members and do not need to sign up.


• Signing up for this will net you automatic inclusion in any Homecoming Committee wards!

Homecoming Theme Ballot Box:

• Hey everybody! Submit your ideas for Homecoming Theme here!


• Okay, so, we realize that there’s already a pcal entry that complicates the theme students choose. That doesn’t mean those suggestions won’t get used or reused later somehow. So submit your ideas. ;)


• Also, please assume IC that this box has been in place for a few weeks at least by now. We just didn’t want players to invest a lot in a Homecoming theme that mmmiiight not come through (or might, depends on how creative the Committee is).


• In character, the ballot box is up until Friday night. Out of character, you have through Sunday to submit ideas.

HOMECOMING COMMITTEE SIGN UPS

[peckishmods]

Reply with your character's name if they'd like to join Homecoming Committee. Judging by the neatly drawn sigil on the back of this sheet of paper, it's been warded against fake entries.
