We need to make a homecoming float. We are the "Storm" (red and black) and they are the Standing Rock Warriors.

By lyonpridej09/11/2010Don't know if it's something you could do, but the 1st image that came to mind is a rocky beach with warriors lying/crouching on it with arms and/or shields raised in a futile effort to fend off huge, angry waves brought in by a terrible, angry black storm!
This year, my school, the Wirt County Tigers, are playing the Hannon Wildcats for Homecoming. As president of the junior class float committee, I would like some help thinking of themes for our float. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

By Jess (Guest Post)09/17/2005How about "It's Gunna Be a Cat Fight!" Make a boxing ring out of supplies. Have someone in a tiger costume fighting someone in a wildcat costume. Play themes from the boxing movie Rocky. Could you help me with my float idea? Were the panthers and were playing the wildcats also...i wanted to do the cat fight idea but i guess it has been used. do you have any other ideas for me?
I'm the new Freshmen class president. Homecoming is approaching and the Freshmen class has decided to build a float for our parade. The theme is "The Amazing Race". We are playing the Bearcats for homecoming. Any ideas?
By NattyJane
I am in charge of our homecoming freshman float. I have no clue what to do with it! We are the panthers and we are playing the cardinals! Our topic is Dynamite. Could you help me find some ideas what to do?

We need some ideas for our homecoming parade float. We are Tigers (orange and black) and versus the Mustangs. Any good ideas?
By Hannah B.
By Chloelizabeth08/29/2011On the front of the float form a horse in their school colors shying back as if in fear. The horse should be staring at a large tiger posed as it to pounce. Since you are the tigers, the tiger should be mounted higher on the float and as a big as the horse. I could come up with some more gory suggestions, but as a retired teacher, I know how administrators can be, so keep it 'light'.
Our school does homecoming floats every year that "put down" the other team such as "grill the gators". We are the wildcats and this year we are playing the cowboys. If you could give me any ideas that would be great. Our school colors are navy blue and white and the other team's colors are blue and silver. any ideas and/or slogans.
Thanks,

By Victoria
We are having a high school homecoming parade. Our HS SADD group would like to build a float that sends a message about not serving alcohol to minors or driving sober. Does anyone have an idea?

What is a good homecoming float for us Trojans that are going against Kirksville Tigers? It has to be something about Tigers.
By Angela from Troy, MO
By angelasoflight09/21/2010Thanks guys, for the ideas! We have chosen something but that will be good for next year! :)

I'm in charge of building a homecoming float for school and I need something extravagant to beat the seniors. Last year's float was awful.
We are the Hornets and our colors are red, black, and gold. We are playing the Spartans. Any ideas please?
By Ellie77
By karilynn09/21/2009Way back when I was in high school we covered a volkswagon with chicken wire and turned it into a giant moving mouse using napkins pulled through the wire and spray painted. The headlights were covered with amber plastic (same stuff used in lighting stages) and we left a small hole in the front to see through to drive. We won !st place because it was so unique. You could probably come up with a slogan and create a hornet on some kind of smaller car. If you use this idea, be sure to use painters tape on the areas of the car where the chicken wire will touch so it doesn't scratch the car paint. Good luck!
I need some ideas for our homecoming parade. Our theme is Eras and we were thinking about the future. We are an insurance agency and the Warriors are playing the Flyers. Anyone have a creative idea? Thanks!
Jill from Plankinton, SD
I am looking for ideas for parade floats. The theme is: Bulldogs vs Patriots.
By Raven
Our freshmen class is trying to think of ideas for our homecoming float and we have no ideas. We would like to be the 1st freshmen class to win homecoming at our school. Our school mascot is the lions and we are a Christian school so if you have any ideas, let me know!
Thanks so much!
Lola from SC
I go to Ardmore High School. We are black and gold and our mascot is the tiger. Our freshman class is trying to come up with an idea for our freshman homecoming float. We are playing the West Limestone Wildcats. Their colors are blue and white. Please send me your ideas. Thanks.
Shelby from Alabama
By U*u*U (Guest Post)09/20/2007How about renting/borrowing a black or gold cool looking car, (best would be convertible) and festooning it with black and gold balloons? Have cute girls (Cheerleaders?) ride the float dressed in black leotards wrapped with gold ribbons with tiger faces painted on (?) You could make little gold tiger ears attached to black headbands. They could smile and wave like beauty queens.
I am on the Student Council of River City Christian School and we are responsible for making the homecoming float. We don't have any ideas about how to make it. Our school colors are purple and gold. Please help!

I'm in charge of the homecoming float, we are the Vanguards and they are the Knights and I have NO IDEA what to do for it. Please help me.
Krista from WI
My cross-country team (girls) is doing a float for our high school's homecoming parade. We aren't sure of how to theme our float though. It would be cool to have part of homecoming in it, but also part of running in it too. Any ideas of how to decorate our float and what to wear? Thanks.
By RunnerGirl92 from OR
By wolfbytez10/08/2009How about a runner crossing the finish line with the tape breaking across her midriff? {that's cross country and "coming home" at the same time, perhaps a sign saying HOME on the far side of the tape}
You could use fishing line to hold the tape "open" as the runner is breaking through it & that would make it invisible to those viewing the float.
You could also have the part of the runner that is already across the tape {like one leg and arm, etc} in a part of a dress {gotten cheap at a thrift store so cutting it in 1/2 won't cost a lot of $} and a fancy high heel {with light up heels?} with the part not yet crossing the line in her running clothes. {think of one of those peep on a comedy show doing half their body in a man's clothes and 1/2 in a woman's}
Some local store might loan you a mannequin you could use and then return afterward. As long as it is possible it would work. If you need more clarification just let me know! wolfbytez AT aol.com
I need a float idea for our homecoming parade. We are the Mustangs and are playing the Roadrunners. Everyone wants to do a coyote and roadrunner theme, but I feel like all the other classes will do that. Any suggestions at all would be great!
By KS
By Chloelizabeth09/04/2012Beat them at their own game. Have a large float sized banner of the classic roadrunner/coyote conflict with the mustang bursting through, sort of like the banner that some teams break through at the beginning of a game. The theme could be something along the line of The Real Thing - the Mustang. Of course, you use the grill from a classic Mustang car as a shield on the front of the horse, too.
I am looking for themes for a homecoming float for preschoolers. It will be the Rams vs. Wildcats. Any ideas will be appreciated.
By Cristi
By drmeidl09/10/2010Being they are preschoolers,why not use baby lambs and kitten theme. Use a real lamb and kitten,or if someone is a good artist,you could paint them in a cartoon form and cut them out instead of using real animals.
I need easy and inexpensive Homecoming float ideas using a turkey mascot.
Andrea from Pittsburgh, PA

I need help finding an idea for a float for my class to build for football homecoming.We are the bobcats and we are playing the eagles.
By bre2012 from Tyrone, OK
By Tigertame409/14/2009Get some live Bobcats and have them eat chicken on the float. Label the chicken as Eagles. Or maybe some folks have stuffed animal bobcats you could use. Have them jumping on stuffed toy eagles. Can you have your mascot on the float?
I need a float idea for the Marion County Warriors against the Sequatchie Indians. Our homecoming is September 23, and our class cannot figure out what to do. Please help. Thank you.

Last year for the junior's float, we had basically a Hay trailer, an old flat-bed truck, and big banners that said "Eat Dirt Mustangs!" We won second place, but honestly, the float was pretty much just a bunch of kids riding through town on a hay trailer blasting country music. Fun, but not super creative. (09/13/2007)
By Taryn08
I need ideas for a football float for homecoming in early October. We are called the Knights. Our colors are blue and white. We play the Rebels. We are thinking of using 2 pickup trucks. It needs to be creative, but spending is limited. Please help.
