Tonight I attended the homecoming coronation for Huron. I'd not seen them do this before, and I often wondered how things like that were done elsewhere. Well, it was quite interesting. First of all, I wouldn't have been there if it hadn't been for having to work the first part of the volleyball game. I got to the be the pre-game show host. That's it. I went and did all the grunt work, gathered interviews, got the coaches records, key players, keys to the game, and all the things that people hear and find interesting during the broadcast. Then, for the part I love the most, the play-by-play, I got booted. Duffy came in and pushed me right out to take all the glory right away from me. Boo on him for that. But at least I got to meet the Brookings coach, she was a very nice girl. I think that might be a rule, that if you're gonna coach in volleyball at Brookings, you have to be young and attractive. That was my big plus for the evening.
Anyhow, the whole coronation thing is quite a ceremony. First, they go through every team and team member from football, to volleyball, to soccer, to the special Olympians. They had their own place too. Then, the candidates, and they kill the lights the old king and queen go and crown the new ones in the dark, and when the lights come back on, there are the new king and queen standing in front. It was indeed quite an interesting series of events.
So, now on to the weekend. It's gonna be a busy one again. I was wrong on my earlier schedule. Apparently, I'm going to have to go remind my grandmother that the big celebration for her and grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary is not this Sunday, like she told me originally, it's actually next Sunday. So, mark that off, instead I'll have soccer games to coach Friday and Saturday, and who knows what all else I'll throw in there too.
