Prom is considered to be the gift to the seniors from the juniors every year. This year, Prom is being held on May fifth and juniors Alex Zaborac, Tyre Russell, Nathan Hunt and Tyler Hannsz are taking control of it.
“The theme is always the most important part of the dance,” junior class president Alex Zaborac said. “This year we chose the theme Fly Me to the Moon.”
A lot of thought and effort went into choosing this theme, wanting to make it the high school’s coolest Prom to date.
“We could have gone with the obvious Cinco de Mayo theme, but we decided that Fly Me to the Moon would be a lot more involving,” junior Tyler Hannsz said. “I really think that the theme will pull everything together. I can’t say much about it but it will be great.”
Every year the complications of Prom seem to be a little more stressful than the year before. With new rules and restrictions, this committee has gone through special planning to make sure everything is going to work out.
“Last year, the committee had a couple of hardships with the DJ and his equipment. We have checked and double checked every aspect we have so far,” junior class vice-president Tyre Russell said.
The DJ for Prom will again have a list of songs deemed “okay” by the administration.
“The song list always gets a really bad rap; all of the songs are still good,” Zaborac said. “A lot of the time, the DJ is always great no matter what he plays. We have asked the DJ to play songs that are widely accepted by a large group of people.”
Accompanying this year’s new theme, the Administration has also presented new disciplinary procedures for Prom. If a student is removed from the dance for any reason the following consequences will ensue: if the student is a senior, they will not be allowed to walk at graduation. If the student is a sophomore or junior, they will not be allowed to attend the Homecoming dance next year. So be safe, make smart choices and have a great time.
