Homecoming
Homecoming, as the first major school social event of the year, was always met with great anticipation by the students. This year the Events Committee had decided on a theme of 'At The Movies', and the ballroom was decorated appropriately.
A long red carpet led into the hall, and just before entering into the dance itself, a 'paparazzo' would take portraits of the attendees, on their own or in couples or groups. The red carpet continued into the ballroom itself. Small tables with black and white decorations peppered the outside of the open center of the hall, which was being used as a dancefloor. Balloons covered the ceiling, and a refreshments and snacks table sat off to the side, guarded at all times by a vigilant adult.
A small podium was elevated on the opposite side of the dancefloor from the drinks table; where the 'Oscars' would be announced and given out. Towards the back, a small area for the entertainment. The local band Vampira had been hired again, after attempts to coax the students into performing (for free) had failed.
It didn't matter though. The night was young and sure to be, as always, a roaring success.
[OOC: Hop in anywhere you like except for the Homecoming Court slot. Save that for the winners!]

Homecoming Court Announcements
"And now the moment you have all been waiting for. The winner for Best Actor is..." She paused for effect, opening the envelope with the winner's name inside. "Luka Nikitin!"
After a few minutes of cheers and applause from the crowd, it became apparent that Luka was not there to accept his prize. She put the statuette on the podium in front of her and moved on to the last part before the nominated girls started tearing each other apart in anticipation. "We'll pass this on later," she joked, preparing the final envelope.
"Finally, it is my great pleasure to announce your Homecoming Queen for 2011. The winner, for this year's Best Actress award, is... Madelyn Cooper!"
Maddy
Madelyn didn't think she'd ever win anything at a dance, certainly not what was probably the closest thing to Homecoming Queen without being labeled that.
She made her way up to the stage and took the award with a big grin. "Thank you!" she said sweetly, not needing to add to the spectacle that was Hawthorne and Cinnamyn.
