Merriam-Webster can tell you how to define “rally” in eleven different ways, but that still wouldn’t tell you anything about what an Irvington rally really is. You could say it’s a celebration of unity after an effervescent spirit week. Or it’s the first thing you remember when you think of high school. Or you’d probably say it’s a variety of performances like dancing, singing, stunting, and so on. And those are all true facts about an Irvington rally, but there’s also a lot more that you just have to experience. Like that feeling of annoyance every underclassmen gets when the “I-H-S” chant ends with “SENIORS!” And it’s that rush of pride in your chest when you scream: “We feel good, oh, we feel so good.” And it does feel good, doesn’t it? Those are the feelings that define what rallies mean to you.

And in 2020, just because we’re distance learning doesn’t mean we have given up on creating the best rallies for our student body. In fact, we have worked together tirelessly to put together the best virtual Hello Rally we can give you! Premiering on Youtube, our Hello Rally video garnered over 1.1K views and wrapped up the online dress-up days, fun events, and spirited posts of Vikenight 2020.
