Prom is something special for every junior and senior. Every junior and senior has something to look forward to at prom. Making memories, spending time with friends. For girls, they get to get all dolled up, put on a fancy dress, get their hair, makeup and nails done. They get to go take pictures and look gorgeous. It’s a memorable night for everyone. But behind the scenes things get stressful. Making appointments to get their hair done, picking out the dress, finding the right date, finding the perfect dress and corshases, and not to mention the set up of prom and after prom.
For these lovely ladies Jaylnn Rule, Ally howard, Majestic Maher, Abygail Arnold, and Taigen Huff, finding the perfect dress and planning out the perfect day looked a lot like, trying on a few dresses and finding the one that best fit their body type.
Arnold and Huff, who are spending the day getting ready together, planned out their day to look like “Starbucks, sleeping some more, getting ready with all my friends, and then boogying it down.”
Mrs. Emily Young and Mrs. Shelly Duvall, spent a lot of time setting up the prom this year. Deciding the theme, planning decorations, putting together an after prom, and making the night of prom the most memorable it can be.
Young states “Planning for Prom starts in the fall semester with deciding on a theme and doing fundraisers to pay for the DJ and decorations. Throughout the school year items are purchased to be ready for the event. The Prom Committee picks three themes and these are sent out to the student body (Juniors and Seniors) to vote on their favorite one. The Thursday before Prom the Prom committee starts draping the gym and then decorating starts on Friday and goes until everything is ready to go on Saturday.”
