Where some see half time as a chance to go to the bathroom or grab a snack, English teacher Ebone Bagnall saw an opportunity to entertain and build school spirit during this time of intermission.

So this year she and Athletic director David Peavy have worked to bring performances and activities between all of the home varsity games. These half time shows have includes performances ranging from the step team to the cheerleaders.

“So far in the shows we have had the cheerleaders, step team and hip-hop team preform, but I would like to see the color guard and marching band participate in the show too,” Bagnall said.

Bagnall and Peavy hope that the half time show will become a commodity and will bring in waves of fans and school spirit to the games.

“The half time show has been a really cool idea and I was very happy to be a part of it this year and I hope it becomes a hit at Akins next year,” senior Dev Dadlini said.

The show has gotten some attention recently because of the variety of events seen throughout the year.

“We have put a lot of effort into giving the students something to get them more involved in the games and I’m happy to be a part of making that change,” Bagnall said.

An Idea about obtaining a sponsorship to sponsor the half-time show has also been brought into attention. Half-time events are also set to make an appearance into the half-time show in the near future.

The events are meant to portray a style that professional sports events do with thing like games for awards and prizes.

“I want to have activities like 3-point shootouts and half-court shots for more entertainment and to get the students involved in the show too. Bagnall said. I’m hoping to also get a sponsorship from an organization like Chick-fil-A to help host the event and it will add another element to it with their food being sold at the game.”

With ideas rolling for the show it looks like this could become a tradition for Akins athletic events and it very well could become an every year tradition.
