Confused on what to do for Homecoming Week that’ll make you stand out? Fret no more. I’ve compiled a list of ideas that’ll blow your classmates away.
Day 1: Senior Citizen Day
It’s Monday, it’s the first day and everyone is probably questioning how intense they’re going this year with their costume. This is your first opportunity to make a stand. Go ALL OUT for day one. Not only will you look cool, it’ll show your classmates you’re not playing around this year and set the standards for the rest of the week.
Costume suggestions: authentic 1930s socks from the great depression, half-moon spectacles (kinda like Dumbledore’s), DENTURES
Day 2: Future Profession Day
Now that you’ve set the bar, you’ve got to make sure you stay on top. For this day choose a profession you’d never actually do… or anyone else for that matter. The more obnoxious the costume the better.
Costume suggestions: astronaut suit, evil scientist, Mrs. Fox, CEO of Walmart, Deputy Director in the Parks and Recreation department, (a mid-level bureaucratic position) as well as being a member of the city council
Day 3: Tourist Day
This one is kind of self-explanatory. Most people are going to wear a floral shirt, Birks and a camera. Not you. You can’t be an American tourist, visiting Disney World, you’ve got to go way beyond the socks with sandals.
Costume suggestions: Chinese kimono, mom jeans, hula skirt
Day 4: Bass Pro Day
The fourth day is the day you see who is TRULY dedicated. You can’t go weak on day four. Continue to wow your fellow students by accessorizing to the MAX. (Keep in mind a uniform is mandatory this day, but don’t let that limit you).
Costume suggestions: bucket hat, khaki vest filled with gummy worms (because if you filled it with real worms that’d be gross), strap a fishing pole to your backpack (detach the hook for safety purposes)
Day 5: Ultimate Pride
This is your last day to uphold your new found reputation of being the most enthusiastic homecoming week costume wearer to ever walk the halls of Carroll. Today you must find your inner eagle and become one with it.
Costume suggestions: graduation robe and cap, PE uniform (always a classic), eagle mascot suit, green and gold morph suit accessorized with other pride day attire, and of course, if all else fails, you can dress as the one and only Bishop Mark K. Carroll
