The signings took place during a pep rally at the end of the day. Banners were hung from the rafters, parents and dignitaries sat at one end of the gym, and 5 tables were set up on the court decorated in the colors of Tennessee, Florida, Austin Peay, Mississippi State, and Tennessee Tech. The student body entered the gym to the sounds of the band playing, and the cheerleaders cheering. Ted Young explained to everyone what was about to happen and its historical significance. The girls basketball team then entered the gym and took their seats behind the 5 tables. One by one, the girls who were about to sign were called out introduced to the crowd. Mrs. Elliott's Art Students then presented each girl signing with a basketball painted with a logo of the mascot of their new schools. After the Cheerleaders led the gym in a cheer, Mr. Cummings and Mrs. Casebolt spoke to the girls and the crowd. The Dance team performed next, and then it was time for the girls to sign and make it official.
