Reinhardt kicked off a Western-themed Homecoming Week on October 13, 2025. The Screaming Eagles marching band, color guard, cheerleaders, and mascot “Soar” energized the campus with a spirited pep rally honoring Reinhardt’s student-athletes. The excitement hit greater heights at “Moonlight Madness,” an event where basketball players showed off their dunking skills. The crowd cheered as the Student Activities team announced the names of this year’s Homecoming Court. The crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen takes place during halftime of the Homecoming football game.
Themed dress-up days, exciting wins by the men’s soccer and women’s volleyball teams, and a blue and gold wrestling team exhibition rounded out the week. In addition, a ceremony recognized the Eagles softball team’s accomplishment as 2025 NAIA Opening Round Champions and a World Series Qualifier.
Tonight, October 17, 2025, on the eve of the highly anticipated Homecoming and Family Weekend football game and tailgating party, the celebration continues with a country trail ride themed Homecoming dance.
