On Sept. 20, Mineola High School’s homecoming was a picture-perfect celebration of Mustang pride and community enthusiasm. Under bright, sunny skies, hundreds of faithful fans lined the streets for the homecoming parade and then filled the stands at Hampton Stadium for an afternoon of football and festivities.

The post-parade ceremony began with Mineola High School principal Rory Parnell welcoming the crowd and introducing the Mineola High School homecoming court to uproarious applause. By the time the Mineola Mustangs took the field to face the Clarke Rams, the crowd was in a festive and energetic mood – waving pom-poms, chanting and dancing along with the Mustangs cheerleaders.

At halftime, the cheerleaders took the field for a lively performance while the marching band prepared to wow the crowd with its futuristic new show, “The Only Way Out.” The band and color guard pulled out all the stops, delivering a spectacular performance with every one of their 123 members hitting every note, every step and every twirl with precision.

The district is grateful to everyone who marched in parade, lined the streets, filled the stands and brought the Mustang energy that made this homecoming truly unforgettable.
