An Afternoon Of Homecoming Festivities At East Meadow High School

EAST MEADOW, NY — East Meadow High School and the surrounding community celebrated homecoming on Oct. 15 with a celebratory parade and football game against Baldwin High School.

Starting from Veteran’s Memorial Park and led by the East Meadow High School Jets marching band, school administrators, board members, faculty and students marched through the neighborhood to East Meadow High School.

The theme for this year’s floats was “famous cities.” While students riding on the floats threw treats to those supporting them, members of the homecoming court were escorted throughout the parade, followed by the high school’s cheerleading and kickline teams.

After performances by the kickline team, cheerleaders and the marching band, halftime celebrations concluded with the crowning of the homecoming king Aidan Occhiuto and queen Daniella Gomez.

The East Meadow Jets played a hard-fought game against the Baldwin Bruins, but they lost with a final score of 34-0.
