| HOMECOMING, 2011: With only one exception, Trask Homecoming was a major success this year. Parade entries included the Titan Marching Band and Color Guard; all King and Queen aspirants; a JROTC Honor Guard, marching unit and "Cage the Cats" float; and, a nice representation from the community--both area Volunteer Fire Departments, the local EMS and this year's Grand Marshals--representatives of the National Forestry Service (NFS). NOTE: The NPS used Trask HS as its Tactical Operations Center for a one to two month fire fighting effort in the Holy Ridge Wildlife Preserve. Festivities continued with the "Rally in the Alley" and concluded with a Titan victory over the Hobbton Wildcats that evening. The exception--the FAA's snapping the JROTC "Best in Parade" win streak. Overall, good job by all. |
