North Pointe's Veterans Float takes First Place
The Prep's float entry into America's fifth largest Veterans Day Parade was
awarded first place for the Veterans Service Organization category. The semi
driven float and its entourage spanned over 200 feet and was viewed by a
crowd of over 225,000 and hundreds of thousands more on TV.
The float highlighted the work of US Vets - an organization dedicated to helping
homeless Veterans transition back into the community. It featured three scenes.
The first was a soldier (Prep Senior Jesse Deng) waving an American Flag
representing all of those who serve. The second scene featured trash cans,
beat up shopping carts and homeless veterans trying to stay warm around a
trash barrel fire. The final scene highlighted the role of US Vets and featured
homeless Veterans moving from scene two up stairs to be welcomed to the
business world and returning to the community.
North Pointe's Marching Band led the entourage playing a medley of patriotic
songs. They were followed by the float which was escorted by the Prep's
STUGO members waving American Flags. Bringing up the rear was the Varsity
Cheer Team sporting clothing representing each branch of America's Armed
Forces and performing cheers honoring America's heroes.
