Over 350 To Participate In Northview’s First Homecoming Parade Today

October 2, 2009

The first Northview High School Homecoming Parade at 12:30 afternoon in Bratt will feature about 35 units and over 300 students on a route from Bratt Elementary School to Northview.

The parade will be led by Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan and Escambia County Commissioner Kevin White, followed by the Northview High School Tribal Beat band.

There are floats scheduled to be in the parade from the seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen, art class, volleyball team, NHS alumuni and the “Senior II” float. The Northview Varsity and Junior Varsity footballs teams will be in the parade, along with cheerleaders from Northview and Ernest Ward Middle School.  Mascot Raylin Spence will be riding in the parade.

Century Mayor Freddie McCall and Carl Ward will be in their vintage cars, and Bratt’s unofficial mayor,  Donnie Bass, will also make an appearance.

Fire trucks from Walnut Hill, Century, McDavid, Molino and Poarch will also be in the parade. The Northview NJROTC platoon, NJROTC Color Guard,  DCT, FBLA, FFA and SGA will also take part.

WEAR-TV 3 personality Mollye Barrows is scheduled to ride in the parade in the station’s satellite truck.

An estimated 275 Northview students will take part in today’s parade.

Spectators are encouraged to arrive early to claim the best spots along Highway 4.

NorthEscambia.com will be there along the parade route, and we will have a complete photo gallery post Saturday morning.

    I know at least the DCT Class and Channel 3 are throwing candy, and I’m sure some of the others are too. Bring your bags! :)

    Always a cloud of rain hanging over our area on Friday’s when the students want to celebrate and enjoy something positive. So frustrating!

    I am deligently praying that it will hold off and let all enjoy the parade that everyone has worked so hard to give the community.

    Ooooooohhhhhhh!!!! Wish I could be there to watch the parade. It sounds so exciting! Makes me homesick and filled with nostalgia. I’m so happy for all of the students & participants.
