The night, in order

So much of senior night happens off the scoreboard. Here's what Big Night covers.

  1. Warmups

    The calm before

    Stretching with the team, the last pregame of their career, the look across at the stands.

  2. The walk

    Flowers and your family

    Your senior's name over the speakers, a parent on each side, the poster with their number. Michael is set up before the ceremony starts.

  3. The game

    Every shift, every snap

    Michael stays on your senior the whole game, not just the ball. The big play, the bench, the second right after.

  4. After

    The handshake line and the fence

    The hug with the coach, the team photo with the seniors up front, and the family photo with grandma before everyone heads to dinner.

Every Big Night photo is full size with no watermark, straight from a professional camera, so it holds up on a fence banner, a poster board or a frame in the hallway.

Pick your favorites from your senior's private gallery and send them wherever you print. The edited photos are yours to keep.

Senior night tips for parents

From a lot of nights on a lot of sidelines.

Get the ceremony time

Most ceremonies happen before warmups end, not at halftime. Ask the coach and put the time in your booking note so Michael is set up early.

Tell Michael who's walking

Parents, grandparents, a little brother in the jersey. If there's a sign or flowers, mention it. It changes where he stands.

Plan the photo after

The family photo at the fence happens fast before everyone scatters. Pick a spot near the gate and give Michael two minutes.

Book early

Senior nights stack up on the same few weeks. Michael shoots one senior per time slot, so the first family to book gets the night.

Senior night questions

Anything else, ask Michael.

What if senior night gets rained out or moved?

Your booking moves with the game. If Michael can't make the new date, you get a full refund.

There are several seniors on the team. Can we share?

Big Night follows one senior. Each family books their own, and Michael covers as many as the night allows. Booster clubs that want every senior covered can ask for a team quote.

When do we get the photos?

Within 48 hours of the final whistle, in your senior's own private gallery. Full size, no watermark.

Will Rival post my senior's photos?

Your gallery is private. Rival never posts an athlete 12 or under without a written OK, and for seniors Michael asks before featuring anyone. Read the photo policy

Do you travel for senior night?

The North Shore and Greater Boston are included. Games more than 45 minutes from Peabody may add a travel fee, and you see it before you pay.
