“I have my dress. I’m trying to work out how to get my hair done. I have my car. I’m just trying to try and fit everything in,” said senior queen candidate Taylor Elfstrom.

Candidates said practicing with nobody in the stands is one thing, but when the bleachers are full Friday night, it will be a different story.

“It will be nerve-racking, definitely,” Elfstrom said.

Senior king candidate Brendan Doherty, who's also a football player, isn’t as worried about homecoming festivity preparations as he is about helping the Tigers to victory against Clio.

“I’m just wearing my jersey in the parade and halftime, and as soon as I’m done I’m back in the locker room,” he said. “It’s a pretty cool thing. I think it means more to my parents than to me, but it’s pretty cool.”
