Christmas in the Greenie Dome



Christmas in the Greenie Dome

Varsity Basketball will have their Christmas in the Greenie Dome basketball game against Rabun Gap-Nacoochee
at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, December 12.

For those unfamiliar with how it works, it's pretty simple: Christ School students dress up in, well, whatever they feel like, and pack the gym. 250 boys will dress in what one can only describe as a mix of pajamas, basketball jerseys, tie-dye shirts, and, of course, a moose head. The crowd stays completely silent until the Greenies score their 10th point.

Then...pandemonium.

The gym gets louder and more raucous than Oracle Arena, home of the Golden State Warriors. The energy of a Christ School student section is unmatched. Later in the game, all fans will join in to sing "Silent Night."

Perhaps a video explains it better: see 2015's Game and 2016's Game.

Admission to the game is free, and it is something that you can't miss. If you can't make the game, check out the livestream.
