The show usually consists of many skits by emcee’s and acts put on by various students and Hear me. . . staff. The skits vary from random “Minute to Mitchell Waddell Win It” type games and spontaneous dances to poking fun at the homecoming royalty and just funny odd skits that I cannot quite explain—you just have to see

it for yourself. Almost every year the emcee’s provide exactly what they’re supposed to do—produce a roar of laughter from the crowd. The acts in the show vary from comedy to dancing to singing and include our always amazing dance team, the Highsteppers, the drumline and the popular Mr. Murren. When the show starts to wind down and come to an end, the big reveal of the 94th Orange Letter Days Homecoming King and Queen will take center stage. Make sure you are at the show tonight to show support for your fellow Warriors who are involved in the show and/or vying for King and Queen. You may purchase tickets to the 2016 homecoming variety show and coronation today during lunch for $5 or at the door tonight. Senior Mitch Waddell will see you from the stage tonight!
Emmys welcome surprises By John Koblin The New York Times (TNS) LOS ANGELES — It was business as usual in the two major categories at the Emmys on Sunday night, as HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and “Veep” repeated as winners for best drama and comedy. But for a ceremony that can be numbingly predictable, the Emmys were energized by a slew of first-time winners in the acting categories and a tour de force in the limited series category by FX’s “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.” The success of the O.J. series set the theme for the evening as Sarah Paulson, Courtney B. Vance and Sterling K. Brown all scored their first Emmy victories. Rami Malek won his first Emmy as well in a wideopen race for best actor in a drama, for his role as the tortured hacker in USA’s “Mr. Robot.” And in a big upset, Tatiana Maslany won as best actress in a drama for her numerous performances in BBC America’s “Orphan Black,” beating out the likes of Robin Wright, Claire Danes and last year’s winner, Viola Davis. Kate McKinnon of “Saturday Night Live” provided a change of pace, too, upsetting Allison Janney, a seven-time Emmy winner, as best supporting actress for comedy. Likewise, Louie Anderson won his first Emmy in the best supporting comedy category for his role as a suburban mother in FX’s “Baskets.” There was a changing of the guard in the variety category, as John Oliver’s show, “Last Week Tonight,” ended the 13-year run of Comedy Central victories. There were familiar winners as well: In the comedy category, Julia LouisDreyfus won her fifth consecutive best actress award for her role on “Veep,” and Jeffrey Tambor, for the second year in a row, won for his role as a transgender woman in “Transparent.” This was the second consecutive year that “Game of Thrones” and “Veep” took top honors, which helped propel HBO to six Emmys on Sunday night and 22 Emmys over all.
