Schedule change tries to bring more pep to school spirit

A new pep-rally schedule is in place this school year; instead of at the end of the day as in years past, pep rallies are now in the morning during first period.  This new schedule has caused some controversy on campus, as everyone has mixed feelings.

“I don’t really like it because I’m just so used to it being at the end of school and it’s so much easier to have it at the end of school because everyone’s like excited and ready to go home,” junior Brooke Poe said.

Some students are concerned that the gym will be vacant on pep-rally mornings.

“I think it should be in the afternoon because now everybody will skip and sleep in,” sophomore Alex Helsley said.

It also has an affect on those performing in the rally.

“I don’t like it because I have to get up earlier for band,” sophomore Nathan Coffey said.
However, a negative feeling is not unanimous around the school. Some of the students are looking forward to the energy that a pep rally day will start off with.

“I’m really excited for pep rallies in the morning because I think it’s gonna pump everybody up for school and we’re gonna start the day off with a bunch of school spirit and be really excited for the game that night,” said senior Corri Hughes.

Other students think that pep rallies will be more heavily attended than they have been in previous years, due to their first-period time slot.

“I really like it so that way people show up more than just leaving school,” said senior Egan Dobson.

Stephanie Thomson is a girl of few interests. She never listens to decent music. So if you like good music, don’t talk to her about it. Movies are not her slice of bread. You like good movies? Hey. Just keep it to yourself. Holy tamole! She’s on the Majestics Dance Team as Senior Class Representative! WOW! Just keep moving, children, there’s nothing to talk about here. Her Twitter is usually embarrassing jokes that only she would ever find funny, and she’s never ever made an Instagram video. If you’re one of the select few who follow her, you should talk to her about it. Just kidding. Don’t talk to her about that. Or anything else. Have the hots for her sexy Toyota Camry? You know she does! So don’t even bother asking her. This story doesn’t have a moral, so *insert deep and resounding question here*.
