Friday October 23rd
- Student Pep-Rally - GHS Students only - Friday afternoon prior to dismissal
- Homecoming Parade - 4:30 PM The Marching Unit will march Rain or Shine. The only thing that will cancel our parade would be extreme weather ( lightning, high winds, etc. none of which are currently in the forecast - Phew!) The parade may be modified a bit as some floats may not be weatherproof. Most importantly, we will be showcasing our outstanding marching unit (and yes there will be candy)!
- Clubs, teams, school-based organizations, and our AMAZING Marching Band, color-guard, poms squad and cheer team will participate in this event. In addition, floats, cars and trucks will be driven to showcase our groups. It is a fun and exciting event for the community to come together before the Varsity Football game. The Glenelg community is encouraged to attend and support the fantastic Glenelg students!
- The parade starts on Burntwoods Road, then takes a left onto Roscommon Drive, then turns left onto Castlebar Drive, then left onto Celbridge Drive, then taking the second exit on the traffic circle back onto Burntwoods Road, and finally, a right into the East Parking Lot.
- Homecoming Football game: GHS Vs. Long Reach High School, at 6:00 pm, in the Colosseum. Be sure to purchase tickets in advance at gofan.co - this game WILL sell out. Once we are at capacity in the stadium the event will be closed to those wishing to purchase tickets. This game is a BLACK OUT so wear your GHS Black Glad Gear to show your spirit.
