Signs of fall abound in Southern California (despite the rush to the Christmas season which merchants are already advertising) and Claremont High School celebrated homecoming yesterday during perfect weather. I would have had more pictures of the parade, except this year, for some reason, they changed the parade route. Usually the procession comes down College Ave, but by the time I figured out it was headed down Harvard instead, I had missed the CHS band.
I did, however arrive in time to see the floats, and I gather that the theme had to do with video games. Seniors were Mario Brothers.
Juniors were Pokemon.
Sophomores were Pac Man.
Freshmen were Donkey Kong.
Following the floats came the El Roble Color Guard and Marching Band.
According to the reports, the football team lost big time last night. About 8:25 I heard fireworks which I assume were at the football game, but they coincided with the Cardinals winning the World Series.

I heard the bands and saw the streets closed but being new to Claremont (and having kids under 5), I never put it together that it was homecoming :) Next year . . . my kids love parades!
