 The homecoming parade was Thursday, September 17 at six o’clock in the evening. The parade began right around the Sam Wise Youth Complex, passed straight across 8th Street and right by Centennial Elementary. There were many organizations in the community who walked the parade along with the cheerleaders, RythAMetteS, marching band and various fall athletics in the high school and junior high. The homecoming court rode through along with various elementary school floats.
There were many concerns as to what the weather would turn out like and if the parade would be cancelled. Earlier in the day it had poured down rain and was cloudy, hot and humid. 
By the afternoon the weather calmed down and the sky became visible. By five o’clock, the beginning of the parade line-up, there was no one concerned about the weather. It turned out to be okay and the parade carried on as planned. 
“The weather was nice, but the constant humidity turned the place into a swampy marsh,” said junior Jonathan Zaugg. Zaugg marched with the marching band in the parade. 
As each organization reached the end of the route they found they were hot, sweaty and tired from the long walk.
Despite all of the worries, the homecoming parade carried on and pulled through just like the year before.
