On Saturday October 12, 2024, Cypress High School held its annual Homecoming Dance with the theme Hoco: Here We Go Again! at the Executive Hangar, located in Fullerton.

After a couple of years of hosting the dance on the high school campus, Cypress ASB decided to change things up and host elsewhere. According to ASB President Aimee Bunsirisert, ASB “wanted to try something different, and allow [the] students to experience Homecoming in a different way than before.” Bunsirisert and the other ASB members were not incorrect in this judgment, as the responses of Cypress students were filled with delight. Bunsirisert shared that she had not heard anything bad about having the dance off campus “other than the parking situation, but that is something we couldn’t have changed!” She recalled that some people did want the dance to be held on school grounds, but “overall everyone really enjoyed it off campus.”

When asked about the process of deciding on this year’s Homecoming theme, Bunsirisert stated that they “threw a bunch of ideas out there and had a list of around 10 themes.” From there, they “cut them down” and resulted in Mamma Mia as the winner. Attendees of the dance expressed excitement about this theme. Senior Megan Na expressed that she personally liked the Mamma Mia theme.

The dance was held in an open room with three walls. There were refreshments provided, along with some desserts that were catered. A DJ played a variety of music, including pop, hip-hop, and rap, as students danced the night away beneath colored lights. Many students lined up in front of a photo booth, where groups of friends posed together to keep physical memories of their fabulous night.

ASB is unsure of whether or not future Homecoming Dances will be held on Cypress High’s campus or at another location, but Bunsirisert says that that is “up to the future ASBs and what type of experience they want for their peers!”
