Geddis Klingler has the weight of whole world on his shoulders...or at least many pounds of drums. The 8th grader is just about one-piece band all by himself. He was part of the Ada homecoming bonfire celebration. More photo bonfire photos click here. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Cheerleaders rev up the crowd at the bonfire on Wednesday evening at the Ada Schools in anticipation of the Homecoming game on Friday evening.
The band was there to add enthusiasm. Football players, students in all grades, parents, school staff were all there to fire up the crowd. Even a few firemen (and their truck) were on hand to keep an eye on the flames.
Unexpectedly, the Ada Icon camera caught a few Hawaiians, a puppy, and a walking banana at the bonfire. It was a perfect evening for a pep rally at twilight.
