BOWIE STUDENTS: Wristbands for the Homecoming dance will be sold in advance on https://bowie.myschoolcentral.com/ from 10/12/26-10/23/26.

 

Wristbands can be picked up in the courtyard during both lunches for three days only October 21-23, 2026. Wristband purchases using cash or credit card will also be available. To purchase and pick up wristbands, students must be present and have their Bowie student ID for the current school year. 

  • Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the event door.

  • You are strongly encouraged to purchase your ticket and pick up your wristband in advance to speed up the check-in process and be sure everyone gets admitted quickly to enjoy the fun.

Non-Bowie Guests

Tickets for non-Bowie guests require a completed guest approval form, advance purchase, and a valid photo ID at the door. Please read the following carefully: 

  • Students wishing to invite a non-Bowie guest must pick up a Guest Approval Form (printed on blue paper) from the front office and turn it back into the front office by the deadline of October 21 at 5 PM. The form can also be printed and found HERE. 

  • Guest Forms are available in the front office, the Library, and Mr. Garcia’s classroom. 

  • Tickets for guests can be purchased in advance but only students who have submitted a Guest Approval Form that has been processed and approved by the Bowie administration team will be admitted. If your guest is not approved, an administrator will notify you. 

  • Guest Wristbands will be issued at the event only for pre-approved guests. Guests will need to have a valid photo ID with them for check-in to get a wristband. Students with pre-approved guests will sign in at a special guest table at the event to obtain guest wristbands.
