In order to win 95.9 The Ranch’s Friday Night Lights contest, a flash mob as been created by students and teachers as the most creative way to win. The winning school receives a private concert by The Casey Donahew Band and one college-bound senior will win a $1,000 scholarship.
“It would be amazing to hand a deserving senior $1,000.” Dena Schimming said. “The way that we are trying to win is with increased school spirit, so the fact that a student could potentially receive a scholarship for increasing moral at Legacy is very exciting.”
In order to win, students have to show their “Ranch Spirit” by tagging cars, making signs or doing something as a student body. Students may also text ‘Legacy’ to 53318 and send pictures,
A flash mob as been organized as a creative way to win. To form a flash mob, people assemble suddenly in a public place, perform a dance for a brief time then disperse. Student clubs, groups and students performed this at the Red Out pep rally and will have a second performance at the football game against Summit.
“I am always impressed at how motivated the students at Legacy can be with a common goal,” Dena Schimming said. “When they set their minds to something, there is no stopping them.”
