I like the back in black idea and think the dance should be casual. : ) Testing..

I like the Back in black idea, but I feel it should be developed more. Luckily, that is the reason for this blog. Ideas?

i like the Back in black idea. i really like the idea of everyone earing black to the game. if everyone came through with it then i think it will be a big turnout.

i think the back in black idea is a cheap knockoff of the AC DC logo, should we at least try to be original? the casual idea is cool, but this is a night we should be able to think back on as a special day. do we wanna dress at homecoming like we do every other day? this is just a couple topics so lets see if any…better… ideas pop up.

Black Out or the Back in Black.

If we’re going to have helicopters, we need Arnold Schwarzenegger and Coach Powell to jump out of the helicopter right before kickoff.

im not to big on the whole “back in black” theme, never been much of an AC/DC fan, but the chopper idea is a gret idea!!!

Hmmmmmm I think the cafeteria for the homecoming dance should be decorated like I think we should have big signs that say 2010 hanging down from the ceilings in the cafeteria i think we should put black and orange walls up to go with the theme of black. and because of our school colors…… ummmm We should try and make everyone where something black to the dance if possible like black dresses for the girls and black shirt and pants for the guys Soooo those are my ideas.

I like the Black Out idea, and having two black hawk helicopters at the game. Get to the Choppa!!

Also for the homecoming football game if you do have the helicopters you should get someone dressed up as a coment since it’s our school mascot and he should jump out of the helicopter and land on the football field! and he should have everyone start singing craters song right before the game starts.

I like the black out thing better than AC DC theme. Having the hawk helicopters at the game would definitely be something to remember.

superhero day with every class dressing as a different superhero each day chase Hughes

we should have a literal black out all day at school to go along with this “black out” deal

OMG! i keep thinking of new ideas also at the game since it’s Called Black Out they should have a point before the game or during it or after etc. that they just turn off all the field lights and surrounding lights so it’s really dark for a few minutes and or seconds.

I like the back in black theme as well as the helicopters. That would be without a doubt a day to remember.

Make the dance formal. and have an 80′s on the week of the game.
Alix Ainzuain

use your brain, u have one…

Also… at the dance it should be somewhat dark in the cafeteria with black lights everywhere.

I think the back in black idea is okay,.. and as for the dance, I think it should be sami formal… I guess. Or casual would be cool too.

you fail

make the dance a masquerade theme. and then have the other days like neon colors and pachuco theme
Perla Estrada

Back to the future day, where we all dress like “Back to the Future” the float can be a delorian and other stuff.
James Meeker

we should have cannon for the football game.

how bout space.. have a dark room with lights with black paper over it with holes in the paper for stars.. and just do a bunch of spacey stuff i mean we are the comets right..?

I think for the float we should do the black light theme like the example mentioned. Have a float with tons of black lights lighting up where it says like BIS crater comets etc.
Also for the dance we should have it on a saturday night instead of friday so that way people can have time in between the game and the dance instead of going straight to the game. It would be cool if it was semi formal also so we cand dress up and have fun!:

reaflective leters on the terble towles so they are visble at night.

I feel like the dance should be formal and we should have it on saturday because no one has time after the game friday to get dressed.

We need to have reflective ink on the white part of the towels. That way at night you can see the reflection and it would be better than just simple black and white.

I think that we should have the dance on Saturday rather than on Friday after the gane becasue homecoming should be formal not casual. Having the dance after the game doesnt give people enough time to go home and change and dress up formaly.

Also, I like the black out theme as appoused to the back in black world tour theme becasue not everybody likes that kinda music. I think you have to try appeal to eveyone rather than just a small group of people.

Lowder says
I think homecoming dance should be casual:) Some people don’t want to spend the extra money on dresses.

they should have a ‘ride the lightning’ Metallica theme and throughout the week play Metallica through the hallways
matt karlewicz

I think that the dance should be on saturday so more people can come to the dance so its not on the night of the game. I also like the black light themed mentioned for the float i think that would be cool.

Kara says
It is easier to be casual because you don’t have to spend a bunch of money on one event

our group was thinking a holloween day. Where everyone dresses up in different costumes.
-Zac Thompson

The letters on the towels should be reflective. So that you can see then in the stands.

I think for once liek every other school in the Rogue Valley we NEED a semi-formal homecoming, it think that would be cool! have actual decorations, so homecoming dance isn’t lame liek normal. I think each year (freshman,sophomore,junior,senior) Should all have their own part like we did last year. I dont think two small schools should team up-faillll! I think we should do more than just windows downtown, i think we should go all out with school spirit everywhere. And some of the decorations should stay up all year.

We would like to be able to buy black and orange tie die shirts to wear to the game and have a semi-formal dance after the dame

I think for the float we should make it indians with a comet coming down to hit them.

Use the “back in black” because its good.

By grade.

Campus enhancements- Decorate the campus a little more like the Oregon campus?

Referring to the community, i think we should put some permanent decor. Why not have spirit all year instead of one week?

I think the Black Out theme is a better idea than Back in Black.

Big Ed says
The black out idea is cool, but we need to be more original than the Back in Black theme

Come to think of it, I think we should be a little more original about the theme. Maybe just have blackout with everyone wearing some sort of made blackout shirt with a slogan on it, like last years ‘I C Orange People’ shirts. AC/DC might be a good idea, but if we can come up with something a tiny bit more unique then it would be more memberable. I dont think I spelled that right.

i like the choper idea and thar shold be black lightes involved

hi just ogt back from wedling it was hot

In my opinion, we should stick with the back in black theme. Go with the black towels, the shirts, the blackhawk helicopters and everything. During the game we can blast ACDC (Back in Black) and fire off the cannon every time Crater makes a touchdown. As for the homecoming dance, I think that it should be a glow theme. There should be tons of black lights and everyone should be creative with their clothing and stuff. For example, I would probably break glow sticks and poor the liquid all over my shirt and just put glowsticks around my wrists and neck. The music played at the dance should consist mostly of Bassnectar’s 45 minute song, because it’s awesome.

I like the blackout theme. I think the helicopter idea is cool. Also have a formal type of dance and have it on a saturday instead of after the game.

Glow in the dark homecoming! dance…

I really think the black out idea could turn out really well, especially if we can get everyone who goes to the game and dance to wear black. Also, I like the idea of having a formal homecoming dance because homecoming only happens once a year and we sould make it different and special.

i think the back in black idea is awesome, for the dance it should be casual.

I like the Black Hawk idea but how are we going to get them…

Cynthia likes the Back in Black theme because the whole school can participate and everyone has something black

Black out is the way to go. Back in black is cool to so maybe using both is a good idea. I think if were gonna do the back in black idea only then right before Crater comes out on to the field the people up in the press box should play ‘Hells Bells’ by ACDC.

The Band in the stands could try and learn some AC/DC songs… shouldn’t be too hard, AC/DC’s song’s are only three chords anyway.

I like Siegel’s idea with Arnold and Powell. We should do black out, everyone needs to participate though, no outcasts. This needs to look legit. We can’t be lazy on this and have some people wearing blue or whatever. We also need to get the whole down town involved, get all their windows decked out and overwhelm Roseburg. Speaking on behalf of the Senior class i’m just saying we need to go all out and make this better than any of the previous homecomings. And seriously this is kinda off topic but what is up with our band? They need to get their act together, show up on time and play good. Is it that hard to do the National Anthem?

Kylie likes the idea of wearing neon orange with the black

Personally, I really like the back in black theme. Yeah, its kind of a rip off of AC/DC, but why is that a bad thing? I like AC/DC. and along with that, for a theme maybe we could do like a rock and roll theme or something.
Also, its really hard to make the dance formal if its right after the football game. If the dance was on saterday it would be possible but thats pretty much the only way.

I think that this year the dance should be semi- formal. We are the only school in Southern Oregon that has a casual homecoming dance. I think the “blackout” theme would show a lot of support. The only bad thing about that is Roseburg has the same school colors as we do. Maybe we could add silver into our spirit appearal for the game to make our Crater spirit obvious. If the dance was lit by black lights the silver & black theme would work well. The silver would glow extremely well. I think our focus should be on decorating downtown and the floats.

I think that we should have the dance on a saturday and make it formal.

Masquarade party:) since its close to Halloween:)))

the black out theme would be pretty cool idk about the whole acdc thing maybe we could find a different theme…..

I really like the back in black idea, i think we could take that and run with it like the I see Orange theme of last year. This year i think we need to focus more on filling up the stadium and getting the community to come to the game. I’m sure everyone has seen a Pittsburg Steeler’s game where the “terrible towels” are being waved by nearly everyone in the stadium and it is an amazing sight. Well i think we need to get our whole stadium wearing the black, and waving the towels supporting our comets. That would really hit off the entire idea of the thing. Ideas that i have to make this happen is to post up flyers advertising the game. Yes the window decorations work, but they are generally not informational enough to let people know when the game is. The other idea i have is put up a banner like the rodeo does across pine street. Almost every resident of Central Point drives down pine street, and having a big orange and black banner across it would allow thousands to see when the game is and give them the chance to attend.

I personally dont believe that on campus things make the week that great, i think we should focus more on the football game entertainment. The dance is another thing that people try every year to make good, but it always ends up being lame. Why? I dont know, but i know that the dance is something that 90% of campus would say has gone downhill enough to where alot of people dont wanna go.

The last thing is whether or not we should separate decorations by school, or grade. Our school is already segregated enough, why do it for homecoming when homecoming is supposed to be a school getting together and having fun. My idea is have a free for all, get together as one and make some great floats and have fun doing it.

If we want a big turn out we need to make sure that the town is decorated well so people will know about the game and want to come and support Crater. So besides just decorations, putting flyers in places like Rays so that people can take them home would help to get people to the game.

Amanda likes the window paintings because it really stands out to the public and a lot of places don’t do that

1. The blackout idea is a great idea. Colleges such as oregon or penn state go all out on there spirit days. Penn States whiteout: http://www.jared-lee.com/blog/images/Penn%20State/20070908-BlueBand-PSU.jpg Oregons blackout:http://clear365.typepad.com/.a/6a00e5538faccf88330120a64b6ba3970b-800wi
2. We should make it a competition by schools, and have grades within the school be designated for each task.
3. Game entertainment is a priority to keep the crowd into the game, and to get a sweet shirt should also be a priority.
4.Window painting and making the town look like they support crater should be a priority as well.

Jen likes the stickers for the downtown because it looks more professional than the window painting and can be used year after year. Easy clean up too.

The dance should be black tie, casual dances are kinda lame. I like the black out theme for the game, I think we need to get the word out beyond just our school. Last year’s orange thing didn’t work to well because a lot of the parents in the stands weren’t wearing orange.
Also, I’ve been to other school’s football games, and they have way more school spirit. we need to step it up a bit and cheer our school on, be proud of our school!

We should do a thing where the comet is heading down to a town and when it hits the atmosphere the light go out in the whole town and lands in the football feild destroying the compotition

I like the idea of the black out and the idea to have the military involved is also very cool. But i do think that we should have the dance on Saturday. That way it will give everyone, if they want to dress up or not, time to get ready for the dance. I also like the idea of it being formal.

i also think that it people should only be able to wear black or white (black and white party) and wearing white would also go along with the “glow in the dark” theme.

i think that the back in black is a great idea. i also think that at the game we should give out glow stickes so that the crater fans can swing them around when crater makes a touch down.

Personally, I feel that the ‘Back in Black’ and ‘Fall Sports’ themes are rather bad ideas. Like moore128145 said, it’s rather unoriginal. We shouldn’t just be some knock-off of AC/DC, we should be more original. The ‘Blackout’ idea is okay, maybe not that intense though. I’d choose that over all the other ideas.

I have to say though, the whole Black Hawk thing is a rather SWEET idea!

(I’m criticizing without really giving any of my own ideas of a theme. I’m just THAT cool.)

make the towels again but have them say back in black and stuff… the one where they said i “C” orange people.

I think we should forget the idea and come up more original then a black and white poster. I think we should throw rubber chickens on the football field. They have to be black and white!

on the back of our shirts they shoud say in camo suport our troops or, say welcome home and thank you.

The Yellow Dart saysI went out there one year and had to wash the paint off of the windows. It was pretty awful.

I’m Just spit-balling here, but i think in reference to our school, a Unicorn-princess theme would be most appropriate. You know, like cotton-candy, ballet, and a magical merry-go-round. Instead of a Black out, we should have a white out. Instead of all this AC/DC rip offs, we should have Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” song blaring like a old llama.

-Clatan

I think the black out and the back in black themes are pretty good ideas. For the dance it should be black tie(formal wear), semi-formal is lame. Last years homecoming was cool, but this year we need to blow the last homecoming away. For the window decorating we need to do more and not painting on the windows. Get some nice big stickers on the outside of windows and on the inside you can still see through it, it’s just tinted a little. Make the halls more decorated than last year.

Huggins said something about the people shooting of cannons when we get a Touchdown, I doubt we will even get one! (Sorry boys, but I just think Roseburg is good! haha). Anyhow, I think that the window “dressing” would be neat rather then wasting our time on the halls– nobody even helps out anyways. Helicopters would rock! I like black light theme as well!

Homecoming should be on Saturday so we can dress up.

if we do ac dc dont have it be all rock music.that would suck.

Uhh. I think the “Back In Black” is a good idea.

But they should team up by interest./

We should have permanent enhancements to the school.

Electrical Black Out theme

Interested people do better work

Game stuffs

In down town we should get kids driving firetrucks and tanks down Pine for a parade

Meh, Back in Black brings up images of overly-enthusiastic mullet toting mid 30′s men.

The howitzer cannon idea puts the kill in overkill.

I do like the whole “print it and stick it” idea for decorating Central Point.

4. Downtown Decorating

What if we had a BBQ like Friday the week before homecoming to make the shirts?? People could help screen the shirts and make posters, or whatever else needs to be done??

How do people feel about having a MOVIE NIGHT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD? Watching a movie like Friday Night Lights or some classic football movie? Screen between the goal posts?

from Dalton, Rezendes and Savage

1. Halloween dance or theme

-haunted house float w/ fog machine and thriller song by marching band

-costume competition

-Haunted house dance pictures

2. Grade level and school

-use small amounts of school time (advisory?)

-Frosh, doors, in groups by advisory, and a competition

3. School Activities and Importance

-Student car window painting fundraiser

from Callahan, Templar, Crouch

1. Back in Black

from Gray and Rutter

1. Love the blackout idea

2. Same as last year – it worked out great and we won.

3. Float is the most important – needs to look great. Make the halls look good.

from Elo and company

1. Zombie theme, Men in Black theme, Halloween theme, Pumpkin Theme.

2. People who win homecoming court do the work.

3. Lots of fireworks and skydivers at halftime

I think for the dance they should bring in a bunch of projectors but just hide them so people cant see them and have like stars flying from the walls its hard to explain but do you know those screen savers for computers they have where its black then a bunch of bright stars are flying at you i think that would look cool if it was on all the walls in the cafeteria since were comets and it goes with space and it will still be somewhat dark too soo it would go with the black out theme.

From Hanson, Isaacs, Sweet, O’Connor, Jakabosky, Preston

1. Black light dance with white shirts

-Play back in black during halftime

-Launch fireworks (at Roseburg)

-Haunted house float theme

2. Have different grade levels do different things with Junior / Senior supervision.

-Jr/Sr do windows and float, So/Fr do halls and doors

3. Game entertainment and hall decor are top priorities.

-A good band to play AC/DC for entertainment.

-Better school spirit with better – and louder – assemblies.

-Window decorating and have fun

4. At halftime fireworks go off and people skydive onto the field in black suits and sing back in black.

. Regarding number one, homecoming theme.

Black our was the leading theme followed by Back in Black World Tour.

Regarding number two, organization.

By far organization by grade level was most popular.

Regarding number three, less is more.

A permanent hass or campus enhancement as favored over game entertainment by a 15 to 8 margin. Float had four.

1. Black our followed by Back in Black 8 to 5.

2. Grade level organization 14 to 4 for by school.

3. Permanent campus enhancement. A fountain was suggested. 15 Game entertainment was second with 8. Lunchtime entertainment was also suggested.

4. Silhouettes and window decorating were both popular. Create a new one each year as oppossed to permanent.

A banner for over pine street was also suggested.

Since i have heard people say that the homecoming dance has been pretty lame recent years i havent really gone to one in the 4 years and 1 month i have been attending Crater lol but i think we should get the staff involved YEAH! like instead of just having a dj play music for 3 hours we should spice it up a bit to get more people to go and have fun! I think it would be cool if we got a bunch of the teachers together like from school 1 school 2 3 and 4 and they had a dance off! Like say the dj plays a song and 4 teachers one from each school come up and dance against each other! that would be some great entertainment! And we could have the students vote for who they liked best… we could even have freshman and sophmores vs. juniors and seniors dancing etc. If they wanted that was but i think the teachers dancing is an awesome idea! anyone agree???

I think it would be real fun to have a black light/ Halloween party.. It would be very fun. There are going to have to be some regulations of course. But I think it would be really fun an easy to do. I mean I am not one for dressing up especially after a foot ball game so the Halloween theme would come in handy, we would do a grave yard theme and some cool table pieces. Oh and for the mix of Halloween an black light party, there will be lots of black lights and other dark color lights *NO STROBE LIGHTS* I know some people that can’t do that because there epileptic and that wouldn’t be fair to do that to them … so no strobe lights.. We can have smoke/ fog (not real smoke -_-) and have lots of candy and side games.
Now people also want to do formal … um idk about that. I wouldn’t an I don’t think other people really want to dress up right after a foot ball game, I know I don’t. What you can do if you want to be formal-just an idea- dress up formal and say you’re a vampire or something like that… I mean look at the vampires on twilight.. Any ways this is just my idea.. If you want to know more just let me know kk 
Oh I almost forgot.. At half time or the beginning of the game we want to shoot a dummy from catapult/cannon.. It will be the apposing team of course and it will also be a piñata and the cheer leaders can throw the candy to the crowd. 

i think we should take every ones ideas an some how put them all together

hmmmmm … maybe the black light party is the best ……………………………….. -_- that means i got to get white meh

The blackout idea is cool. The whole ACDC theme for the shirts is a little too much. I think they should say just say
“blackout”
crater v.s. roseburg

“A school atmosphere that has a stressful workplace experience and a professionally, proficient torture master for thrills.”

— Todd Bennett – Principal

GLOW STICKS!!!!! Perfect! We should splatter glow sticks in the Cafeteria for the dance!!!!!!!!

crater themed fireworks after the football game.

Well i have always liked the whole halloween theme but we say that every year and every year it doesnt happen, i think the most important aspect is the float:) ours kicked butt last year and we should do it agian

I like pie. Make it happen.

We should have a glow in the dark football game…
let the chaos begin.

So what i want to do is to basically have fun with the fact that our school is so stereotypical, so i think that we should have a dress like other schools day. people dress really preppy, like nerds, hicks or like goths… all in good nature of-course

I think it’d be cool if we had the black shirts, but we wrote “I love my comets” in orange, and the comet picture orange too.

What does everyone think of wristbands?? Such as the LIVESTRONG bracelets. or the 1 inch wide ones like the I <3 boobies bracelets that say I <3 CHS.
Glow in the dark white with black font.

itd be cool to have a real cool halftime show with crazy stuff

NOT AC DC

Every other school EVER has a formal or semi- formal Homecoming dance; why is it that Crater is lame and has just a casual thing?! We should at least jazz it up a bit by not being casual, but a little but more eligant.. Semi-formal maybe??

This year we should decorate the halls even if no one helps because last year the people who did help made it awesome.

How about we have a South Medford Theme!!!

If we did the I <3 boobies! bracelet that said "I <3 CHS" and people bought them at the beginning of the week. Have it be each students pass into all of the homecoming festivities!

The black light seems to be pretty popular but the only way this would be interesting was if people brought other shirts with white so everyone wouldnt look the same with the little bit of white that is on the back in black shirts.

I agree with Siebert that we need pie for a formal dance. Its the only way I’m coming. If its formal and has pie.

Also the dance should be casual, aside form homecoming court who could stay dressed up if they wish, due to the fact that it is right after the game.

Black lights seem to be a popular idea, but the only way to pull that off well would involve everyone bringing an extra white shirt to the dance. The dance I believe should be casual. If people really want to have a formal or semi-formal dance, we could have another dance later in the year. This isn’t the only dance at Crater, even though we don’t have a whole lot. Besides do you know how hard it is to get your groove on in a button up long sleeve shirt with a blazier over it! Get yo funk on!

I like the black out theme for the dance and for our float we could do a haunted house type of theme since it is October

! t4!nk \/\/3 540u1d 7ur/\/ 7h3 f00d-r00m in70 a p@bbed fu/\/ 4ou5e. 4 t3h d@nc3.

Not sure if I like the Back in Black theme… It seems so unoriginal… I think I like the idea behind it though… I also like the Black Out theme because last year we did Orange Crush and black is another of our colors. I like the idea of long sleeved shirts and I liked the style Gabbie chose because it would be something new but not too expensive for people, and you could wear it to the game if you wanted.

Okay, so Homecoming dances are normally pretty lame.. There is a new dance scene that is taking L.A. by storm & every other big city is following. Back home in L.A. every year they have a “RAVE STYLE DANCE” called monster massive and i think Rave lights and Glow-sticks would be very appropriate for a new Dance, instead of that lame homecoming dance you are used to. I know I’m not gonna go unless it’s something fresh and original like so I have a few links to show what exactly i mean, if you are curious to see how Awesome my idea is.

The homecoming should be a Masquerade/Glow Stick/Rave Themed type deal. House/Electro/Hip Hop/RnB with a Live DJ.

I think that for the float there should be a big TP with people in side (like indian) and there should be a big comet crashed into the side of it and we could make it look like its on fire.

homecoming should be on friday and not the lame dances that it usually is it should be like a club scene and it should be wear whatever you wont to wear

i hate the back in black theme its unoriginal

I like oranges, world globes, light bulbs, hot dogs and fences
