Light Up Your Homecoming Student Section with Color Powder

Homecoming football games are already packed with school spirit. Add color powder to the student section, and you can turn one big moment into something students will remember all year.

A coordinated color powder toss is an easy way to bring your school colors into the stands and create an awesome visual for Homecoming night, spirit week, rivalry games, or senior night.

Pick the Perfect Moment

The best color tosses happen when everyone throws at the same time. Choose one moment during the game and let students know ahead of time when the toss will happen.

Some fun options include:

• When the team runs onto the field
• Right before kickoff
• After the first touchdown
• During a school chant or fight song
• At the start of the second half
• During a planned Homecoming student-section photo

Have your student section leader, cheerleaders, or announcer lead the countdown:

3... 2... 1... THROW!

Then watch the stands erupt in your school colors.

Match Your School Colors

This is where you can really make the student section your own.

Choose one color for a bold, unified look or mix two or more colors to coordinate with your school. Individual color powder packets make it easy to hand powder out as students enter the section and save it until the designated toss.

You can even divide the stands into color sections for an extra visual effect.

Make It Photo-Worthy

A coordinated color toss makes an incredible backdrop for Homecoming photos and videos.

Have someone ready with a camera before the countdown begins. For the best shot, capture the entire student section as the powder goes up rather than focusing on just a few students.

You’ll have content you can use for the yearbook, school social media, athletics pages, and next year's Homecoming promotions.

A Little Planning Goes a Long Way

Before adding a color toss to your Homecoming plans, get approval from your school and stadium or facility staff.

Choose an open-air area, keep the powder toss contained to the designated student section, and distribute the powder shortly before the planned toss so everyone knows exactly what to do with it.

It also helps to have a few volunteers or student leaders responsible for handing out powder and organizing the countdown.

Bring More Color to Homecoming

Homecoming is about creating the kind of school-spirit moments students want to be part of. A burst of your school colors from the student section can turn an ordinary kickoff, touchdown, or halftime moment into something unforgettable.
