2005 Miracle Yearbook

The theme for Cedarville's SGA Homecoming 2004 was "Catch the Spirit," which in many ways the Student Government Association managed to do. From the beginning,students caught the spirit of fun during the tailgate party. Located in the SSC parking lot, the party included a variety of games and rides such as the sledgehammer-wielding "car smash"and trampolines that vaulted students ten feet in the air. Freshman Lauren Yoder thought the "hilarious" slam dunk competition "was definitely a highlight of the night." If students weren't too keen on playing games,they were able to enjoy a tailgate buffet including fried chicken and watermelon and relax with friends. Once all of the tailgating events came to an end, many Cedarville students walked over to the soccer field to watch the Men's Soccer team take on Shawnee State. They witnessed an especially peculiar entrance by the Yellow Jacket, who opted to fly to the game via helicopter to bring the competitors the game ball. The students' school spirit must have helped the Jackets; they took the win from Shawnee State 6-2. Shortly after the victory, many hurried to the DMC for the homecoming concert,featuring Casting Crowns. For sophomore Courtney Brat, this was by far the best aspect of homecoming 2004. She said,"The lead singer spoke to us for a while and it was really challenging. He was so real. Most of the bands that come around are cool and all, but are totally there for the show, but these guys were different. They were there first for the Lord and then for us." The seven members of Casting Crowns—Chris Huffman, Melodee Devevo, Juan Devevo, Senior HomecoMing Queen Abigail Winburn and Kate Martin rock out during the conceit th Andy Williams, Megan Garrett, Hector Cervantes,and Mark Hall—take the stage at the end of Abigail at aid, "I was struck by how ordinary a guy the Casting Crowns lead singe a the Homecoming celebrations, was and y with so much talent and popularity."
