Homecoming 2012 Pep Rally

The Student Government Association hosted its 3rd annual Pep Rally on the evening of Thursday, October 18th. This fun-filled event signified the start of a jam-packed homecoming weekend.

Students stand in line waiting to enter the A.R.M.A.H. in Lane University Center.

As students entered the Lane University Center's A.R.M.A.H., the FSU Marching Bobcats played lively tunes to get the crowd moving. The band featured new selections, including an adaptation of Pop and R&B superstar Rihanna's summer anthem, "We Found Love." The Marching Bobcats were followed by the Frostburg State University Cheerleaders, who previewed a portion of their routine for the 2012-2013 competition season.

After a few quick performances, the audience sat through a brief information session. SGA officers discussed the dress code for the Homecoming Dance (Saturday, October 20th from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.). What not to wear was demonstrated by a few male students in women's clothing.

The SGA officers then pulled five audience members on stage to participate in a hot dog eating contest. After a quick round one, only three contestants remained. The remaining three contestants ate green chili peppers during their final face off.

 

Shortly after the eating contest, the FSU Epitome Dance Team took to the stage. The students featured hip hop moves to songs of new and old music artists, including Janet Jackson's 1993 hit song "If."

 

Then the moment so many waited for: the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen, had finally arrived.

The event came to an end after the crowning and students poured out of the Lane center to take in the night life of Homecoming 2012.
