Coronation ball showcases homecoming court

 The annual homecoming coronation ball, held in the Opal Johnson- Smith Auditorium on Oct. 16, honored Aaron Fowler and Breanna Green.
 The coronation ball is the presenting of the royal homecoming court.
"This ceremony stands for the official pinning of Mr. and Miss Prairie View," said assistant director of student activities Charles H. Lewter IV.
The coronation is a time when the entire student body can come formally together to receive the presentation of the royal homecoming court.
"Long hours for preparation and rehearsals are aspects that contribute to making this event a success. Beginning with the pageants, which are used to help groom them for the royal court and to prepare them on how to present themselves as Mr. and Miss Prairie View and the official court for the school," added Lewter.
The ceremony began with the announcements of the outer courts, followed by the royal homecoming court.
The Prairie View Classical Dance Ensemble entertained the audience with an uplifting, high tempo, classical piece before the official pinning took place.
Junior engineering major Aaron Fowler described this experience, saying, "It was a wonderful feeling and very humbling. Having the privilege to hold the title as Mr. PVAMU helps me to know that I've come a long way and I'm in a place that makes me act in a better way to have a positive influence on those watching."
Senior psychology major Breanna Green said that it has been an amazing experience.
Green said, "Being able to influence people and being a role model means a lot simply because it shows that people appreciate what I'm doing and I appreciate them. I'm representing women beyond me...past Miss PV's, future Miss PV's, and all women on campus."
