SamlovesBham: It’s the winter sports season and our Birmingham teams have been doing GREAT!!! Boys and girls basketball and boys swimming have been bringing their A game, both on the court and in the pool! Support your school, Seaholm or Groves (but Go Maples!!), by rooting for  your teams. It’s less expensive than a movie, and you can be way louder! Go with friends or family to your school’s next sporting event and have a blast!

SamlovesBham: The state meet for girls swimming was this weekend and our hometown teams (Seaholm and Groves) swam great! Groves finished in 6th place overall with 2 fantastic divers and some great races by their swimmers! Seaholm (Go Maples!) finished 4th overall, and all the girls on the team swam their best times, dove their best dives and had a blast! The relays were especially exciting, the medley relay of Kelsey, Calley, Megan, and Emily finished 6th (1.49.41!), the 200 free relay of Sam (me ), Melanie, Charlotte, and Emily finished 2nd (1.37.16!), and the 400 free relay of Sam (me again ), Alex, Melanie and Chelsea finished 3rd (3.33.2!). Great job to all the Birmingham swimmers and divers for a great season!! Want to watch it? Check out Michigan High School Hammertime on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday this week (It’s on Fox Sports Detroit)!

League meet for girls swimming is this week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at Seaholm!!! Come watch the Maples compete and have a blast while you cheer in the stands! The prelims are Wednesday at 5pm for swimming and Thursday at 6pm for diving (I personally love watching the divers, I wish I could do flips and stuff off the board). Friday at 6pm are the finals with WAY more competition in the air! The races will be close and it’s sure to be a blast! The entry fee is only $5, so bring some friends, cheer on your team and come have a great time!

Come to Seaholm High School tonight (Tuesday, October 27) for some exciting entertainment!!! The Seaholm Choir and Orchestra will be having our annual Masquerade Concert at 7pm! Aside from the amazing music, everybody performing will be in costume (which can be funny or cute, and sometimes just downright strange ).

I’m being Wendy from Peter Pan! The concert will keep you on your toes with the short skits and intros to all the songs! The concert is free, so bring your friends or family and come have a blast!!!

Come to the biggest football game of the year tonight at 7pm at the Seaholm Maple Field and watch the Seaholm Maples battle it out against the Groves Falcons.  From friendly school rivalry to the close calls and fantastic races, excitement will be in the air! No matter which school you are rooting for, this will be entertaining 60 minutes of football! Come tailgate before the game to hear the marching band play and have FREE hotdogs!

There is actually nothing like Cranbrook’s Homecoming, that’s the only way to lead into this article; nothing like it.  It is such a spectacle, if you have never been, make some friends at Cranbrook and GO, it is actually the most amazing homecoming in the area (trust me I’ve done the homework, and spent time at some pretty god-awful homecomings).  This homecoming is beyond comparable; the dresses, the people, the atmosphere before and after, just everything in general are nothing like any other homecoming.  This year the wardrobes were particularly enticing.  Many girls took risks with their dresses and chose something other than the ubiquitous satin overworked wrecks that I see so often which make my eyes burn…so thank you Cranbrook girls for choosing something different!  Many of the attendees chose sequins, which normally I am opposed to, yet they accomplished the look so stylishly with sleek straight hair and a pop of amazing shoe color that it was acceptable.  Best dressed award for the night, has to go to my friend Katy, and yes I am a little biased!  She paired a Temperley London dress with Lanvin large pearl earrings (both from Tender in Birmingham), and six inch high python monsters, they were un.believable; honestly on another level.

Oh, the music, totally forgot…It was fabulous as well.  The D.J. they hired played a HUGE range of music, from techno to even country (one song, but its still worth mentioning).  Also, people were actually dancing at this homecoming, like, everyone!  What a concept right?  Actually dancing at a school dance?  …it seems a little foreign to me.  It was such a blast, at the end of the night I felt more satisfied with my weekend evening than any other weekend.  Thanks CK!
