Elaborate Mums at The Woodlands High School Texas Homecoming ~ Football and Band
Homecoming at The Woodlands Texas High School and Excitement is in the air!!!!! Since everything grows big in Texas, it's also not surprising that the Lone Star State is credited with developing some of the most elaborate corsages known as Homecoming Mums!
Some students take the mums just as seriously as the Homecoming Football Game itself and  you know ... EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS!   
 
A few days before the dance students who have dates, exchange mums for the girls and garters for the guys!
It is usually worn in the middle of the chest like a breastplate with the streamers flowing down the front of the body almost touching the ankles. It is a fashion statement!
The guys wear Homecoming Garters, a smaller version of the mum, on their sleeves.

For the uninitiated, a homecoming mum is an oversize mum corsage that is decorated with:
pictures school colors a teddy bear (some of the more elaborate ones have Barbies school uniforms) streamers their names in sparkly letters bells charms candy toys gadgets of course a cowbell at the bottom
They can cost over $100 and weigh as much as 12 pounds!
Homecoming mums have become a status symbol for many high school students.
Designs change every ... more
