(Photo submitted.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With homecoming events occurring this weekend, Crestview students have been participating in homecoming activities throughout the week. Monday\u2019s spirit week theme was Pajama Day, and Tuesday was Fashion Disaster Day. Yesterday, the daily theme was Hawaiian, and the powderpuff game between the juniors and seniors took place; as well as the homecoming parade. Today\u2019s theme is Retro Crestview, in which students are dressing up in Knights gear from previous decades. Tomorrow, the theme will be Crestview spirit, and the football team will take on the Ada Bulldogs at 7:00.<\/p>\n<p>Homecoming ceremonies will begin at 6:30 p.m.. The dance will be Saturday, Oct. 3, from 7-10 p.m. in the auditeria, and the theme will be \u201cFall Festival.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freshman Wade Sheets is looking forward to his first homecoming experience as a high school student, \u201cI\u2019m sure the dance will be fun, but I\u2019m the most excited to eat with my friends before the dance, then hang out with them afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Crestview Marching Knights have started the year off with some changes. They are now under the direction of Jason Lozer. \u201cWelcoming a new director into the band program was definitely hard, but Mr. Lozer has really helped us with our sound,\u201d says junior Ally Fegley. \u201cHe\u2019s taught us that we don\u2019t need to be something we\u2019re not and try to sound like a big band when we can do our best to sound like a really great small band; which we are. We produce a fuller and more balanced sound now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Competition season has not started yet, but the band has been busy performing at both Mercer and Van Wert County Fairs, various parades, and football games. Their first competition is on Oct. 10.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Hannah Bowen Today, the juniors and seniors of the Crestview FFA chapter are hosting Cows and Plows at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds.
