Every year the exclusive private school of King’s Academy holds their Senior Homecoming Dance near the end of September and/or towards the beginning of October.. And every year, both the location and theme vary on who organizes it. Usually, the ones who organize it are the Senior Class Student Council. If that was true, then the most likely of venues that would be chosen to host the Homecoming dance was likely to be on the boat of some generous alumni who may or may not have their child attending the current class of 2019 of King’s Academy, however as it was revealed just last week during an assembly hosted by the teaching staff, as well as the Principal of King’s Academy, Principal Franklin, they revealed this year's would be different. Instead of a boat or maybe by the beach like it usually would, the Homecoming Dance was going to be held at the Crown Heights Country Club.
And boy was it met with mixed reactions. While a good majority of the senior class seemed to applaud the innovative idea and motivations from, there had been an uproar from the rest of them because they felt like they were being forced to participate in something that should’ve up to the student council to decide, not the staff. Their concerns were understandable given the people they were to arrive with was chosen for them and if they didn’t show up, it meant they risked getting expelled, so it was less of an enjoyable experience for some, though that was the case for roughly a handful or two of the senior class. Regardless of anything they were feeling at the time of the announcement, this was their reality.
As it was finally the day of Homecoming, when the students would arrive, the set up is like a lot of things within the gated, private community of Crown Heights, over the top in every possible way and with more glamour than all of the private schools in the southern part of Florida combined. Though it’s technically set up inside the ballroom of the Crown Heights Country Club, it simultaneously has its base of operations set up outside in the form of two separate
greenhouse-like tents that are as transparent as they come.
From the outside, it’s just a bunch of lights, but inside these two tents are two decorative representation of Stars and the Moon.
Lights flicker where the ground and the edges of the tents meet, leading all the way up to the various ornaments shaped like a moon, colored with alternating hues of silverish gold like the moon is when it’s completely bathing in the sun’s light and the sort of blue that one would see reflecting from the ocean, the moon’s form subtly hitting it with its shining brilliance. On the inside of the tents, a better look of the lights and hanging ornaments could be seen, but there’s also a more detailed arrangement of tables that spread across the entirety of the tent starting where one enters to where there is a stage where the live DJ will set up shop shortly but more importantly, it was where the King and Queen would be coronated three hours after the dance started.
It is here the King’s Academy Homecoming dance of 2018 will happen on a night of a thousand stars that shine brightly of the reluctant and willing.
