FIREWORKS!!!

Hello Homecoming Enthusiast,

Things are moving FAST!!! In a short 3 weeks, homecoming will be here and our duties as your steering committee will have ended. Already thoughts of sadness enter my mind as I look around the conference table during our meetings. Everything from Michelle playing with her hair to Franklin's long updates will be truly missed.

We recently had our Fall Information Meeting and it was a huge success. Although Paula and myself were a bit frazzled at the podium, I think students are excited about our flag football tournament. So far we have three teams and I'm excited to get more! It has been a lot of hard work getting the finite details worked out, but I'm sure the event will be ever so rewarding upon its conclusion.

Fireworks are going spectacularly! I've now met our contact Ron Evans, and he is so great! This man knows everything about fireworks and it was clear from our meeting he has a grasp on exactly how to makes BSU's homecoming fireworks spectacular.

On another note, I'm so impressed with the hard work of other committee members. Peter has blown me away with his contributions to homecoming media. If you haven't yet, check out his numerous videos promoting our homecoming events. Jenny has created an event I'm excited about and has been so on the ball with event planning. Sheri is working so diligently on finding new BSU talent, and everyone else is just flat out rocking their events.

I have to give shout out to Paula Truex! Working as the only homecoming event duo for planning it has been a sincere pleasure watching this young woman grow. Her skills are exceptional and I'm sure she along with all other underclassman on the committee will prevail in upcoming years!

Again, I'm sad that this all ends soon, and I think one thing I have liked the most is the time spent with our advisors! Michelle, Kate, Julie, and Ed have been truly inspiring in their efforts to help us! This experience wouldn't be the same without them!

GET EXCITED BALL STATE!! Homecoming this year really is going to be great! The committee is stress free, prepared, and ready for any challenges that may present themselves. I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT EVERY EVENT~!!

Sincerely

Brandon
