FORT COLLINS, Colo.—“I’m proud to be a CSU Ram” chants could be heard all around the Colorado State campus with school spirit being as lively as ever this past CSU Homecoming. The events took place Sept. 30 through Oct. 2 all around the Fort Collins community. This is always the best time to get families, alumni, and current students together to celebrate their school spirit.
The first event started at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30; which was the CSU Homecoming parade. People and organizations from all around Fort Collins came and showed their spirit. This is always a fun experience for people of all ages.
“The parade is something I look forward to every year,” said junior psychology major, Kelsey Hammel. “I love to see families from around the community come and just have a great time.”
Other festivities that took place that evening included the pep rally and bonfire. The CSU marching band played songs all evening to help bring out the spirit. The Lil’ Rammies also put on a performance in the beginning of the rally helping to remind the school community that CSU spirit can come from all ages.
Once night fell, the bon fire was lit and fireworks were let off for all the spectators. The colors helped illuminate the sky, bringing in the entire community to the festivities.
“Friday is the best day of homecoming for my family and I,” said alumni Julianna Reed. “My kids are young and they love the candy at the parade and love the sight of the fireworks.”
The football game on Saturday filled the entire stadium with fans of all ages. The student section was practically filled all the way to the top, while the parent and alumni section was completely filled.
“Colorado State football is my life,” said alumni Anastasia Harrison. “Even though we lost this game, it was so nice to see everybody including the parents stand up and cheer for our team.”
CSU’s Homecoming was filled with so much excitement. People of all ages came and supported the Rams through each event. It was a good reminder that the people of Colorado State are proud to be CSU Rams.
