The roar of the crowd, the flash of fireworks, and a sea of burgundy and gray marked the end of Spirit Week with a celebration to remember: Woodcrest Pride Day. Students, faculty, and community members gathered at the football stadium on Sunday, dressed head to toe in school colors, to show their spirit and close out a week of festivities with one final burst of energy.
Kicking off the event was a dazzling performance by the Angry Beavers Cheerleading Squad, who took the spotlight on their own dedicated stage. With athletic grace and unrelenting enthusiasm, the squad moved from routine to routine in a seamless flow of flips, chants, and stunts that brought the crowd to its feet. Cheers echoed through the stadium as pom-poms flashed and spirits soared.
As the sun dipped low and golden hour bathed the stadium, attention shifted to the second stage, where DJ Puma took over with a pulse-pounding set. What began as a casual sway quickly turned into a full-on dance party, as students and faculty alike let loose, swapping books for basslines and lectures for laughter. Just when it seemed the night couldn’t get any brighter, the first firework screamed into the sky. A cascade of color lit up the Woodcrest skyline, met by cheers and embraces as the community looked upward, united in celebration.
Woodcrest Pride Day wasn’t just a party. It was a shared, joyful, and bold moment honoring the heart of who we are. As the last firework shimmered into smoke, one truth rang clear: Once an Angry Beaver, always an Angry Beaver.
