Homecoming king and queen candidates face off in this years Royal Battle, Oct. 4.

The groups challenge each other in a duel of dancing and lip syncing to students favorite songs. The guys and girls alternate, splitting each of their dances into two sections. The routines feature each of the candidates, along with adult cameos. The kings dance along to ‘Despacito’, by Justin Bieber, with Spanish teacher, Rachel Rodriguez. The queens feature infamous former campus grounds keeper, Val Rivera, as they dance to the intro of ‘The Greatest Showman’.

Campus English teacher, Kyle Dodson, hosts the event, hyping up students and introducing the groups. Judges, Michelle Logan, Angie Counts and Greg Stobbe make the final call on the winner of the battle, choosing the queens as the victors.

Thank you to the candidates, choreographers and organizers of this event for your countless hours spent perfecting the battle. As well as all who attended.
