Last weekend was my junior prom! As president of the junior class, I was also head of the prom committee. The committee, made up of about 15 junior girls and even a couple junior boys, started having meetings with our sponsor, Mrs. Goodsite, in the fall. First, we chose a theme and colors. We decided on Bright Lights, Big City as the theme and stuck with neutrals, black and silver, for the colors. Throughout the year we planned out everything, from the decorations to the food to the photographer.
The last couple weeks have been extremely busy as we were putting last minute details together. We started painting our 12 foot Grand March cityscape two weeks before prom. We began decorating the gym, where the dance was held, last Wednesday night. Active members of the committee were excused from classes on Thursday and Friday so we could decorate during the day and after school. Grand March was held at our primary school. We wrapped up the decorating process there on Friday afternoon.
Finally, the big day had arrived. After sleeping in on Saturday, I went to get my hair done. Then I came home and began getting ready for the long night that was ahead of me. First I ate a very classy, delicious dinner at a friend's house in a fun, sundress.
Then us girls changed into our prom dresses and the guys put on their tuxes. :) We took a lot of pictures and went to Grand March, where we took even more pictures . Finally it was time for the dance! We found that dancing in evening gowns is not as easy as it looks and very, VERY hot after a while!
At midnight the dance was over, but the evening was no where near done! It was time for after prom, sponsored by the junior parents. There were airbrush tattoos, big blow up games, and LOTS of food. But, my favorite part was the hypnotist. Twenty students were chosen to be hypnotized on stage. It was amazing and absolutely hysterical! After prom ended at about 4:30 am and the festivities were over.
I'm glad that I was able to play a part in organizing prom this year. It took a lot of work, but it was so exciting to see everything come together. We did a great job and I think the seniors really liked it.
With Love,
Morgan
