Homecoming began with a parade up Stewart Avenue. Beginning at the Long Island Rail Road station, it was led by the Nassau County Police Department and Bethpage Fire Department. A steady crowd lining the sidewalk in front of the high school cheered when they saw the flashing lights approaching.
The parade featured the marching band, cheerleaders and kickline team, youth organizations and movie-themed class floats.
At the high school, tables were set up where community members could buy baked goods, popcorn and Bethpage attire, including pink shirts for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There were also numerous raffles.
Halftime festivities featured the marching band’s tribute to the Beatles, as well as performances by the cheerleaders and the Golden Girls kickline team. Andrew Miller and Ava Nargentino were announced as the homecoming king and queen.
