Homecoming float ideas?

Question

We are the royal valley panthers and we are playing the maur hill ravens. Any ideas?

There is no theme. We are a small 2a school. Our floats always bash the other team and the unmotivated junior class is struggling for ideas.

Answer 1

Hmmm... no Theme to your homecoming ? I always laughed at the Themes that a committee of cheerleaders / jocks came up with, but at least it was a starting point.

I designed / built 3 themed homecoming floats:

1982 (Junior year) Theme was "Halloween", our slogan was "82 will Boo You"... I designed a 3 story haunted house... 2x4 frame with plywood platforms onto which we attached "stage-flats" (1x3 frames covered in sized muslin-fabric). This all sat on a large flat-bed, with stairs to the ground, a large cauldron on the back with witches stirring the pot... a honda generator to power some effects lights and the PA for spooky music.

1982 (Senior) Theme was "Rock & Roll"... Our CLASS had an MTV theme... using the same construction technique. I built a HUGE Boom-box, colored that Ferrari-red that was hip back then.... the speakers actually held HUGE concert/ PA speakers... the radio held the PA system, and on top of the Boom-Box were dancers...

1984 (sisters Sophmore year) Their Theme was "Parties thru History", her class picked "Roaring '20's". Again using the same techniques... we built the inside of a '20's speakeasy... they also got use of 2 Model A Fords !!

ALL Three of my designs won the schools award for best-float.

ONE thing to always try to do is get costuming to match your theme... TRY to avoid the chicken-wire and toilet / crepe-paper technique.

ENLIST your theater geeks !!

GOOD LUCK !!

Homecoming Float Themes

Answer 3

Down the side of your float write "And the raven was Nevermore". This is a play on words from Poes "The Raven" but you could use it for your float. Have a stuffed panther, a person dressed as a panther or a football player in his panther jersey taking apart a stuffed raven, person dressed as a raven or a jersey to look like the ravens jerseys with a bird head. Have fun with this.

Answer 4

you could stage it like quidditch. Your school vs the panthers and of course they will lose. Your school mascot can wear harry potter glasses and have a scar.
