At first, I was not too particularly excited about Howard Homecoming. There was no anticipation and I did not feel any anxiousness. I did not buy any tickets to any events that were being held during Homecoming week because I did not have any desire to go. I never really got into the hype of Homecoming until Friday during Yard Fest. I was not expecting to see vendors with good barbecued food, or people that did not attend Howard. The enjoyed everyone’s positive and optimistic energy. On Saturday morning, the parade was an eventful sight to see. It was amazing to see the smallest of kids participating in the school bands. It showed that they were actively involved in a positive activity. One of the reasons why I wanted to attend an HBCU was to experience the hype over the bands. Howard’s Homecoming definitely fulfilled my expectations. The half time show was amazing and North Carolina A&T put on a show. Overall, Howard Homecoming was a good experience.
