Prom 2014

I’m sure that prom night was a night everyone will remember. Months of planning took place on all parts and at 8:00 PM on Saturday, April 26 the festivities began. This prom’s theme was "A Fairytale Evening" and guests were given the royal treatment in the ways of food and décor. The downstairs area was decorated with tables draped in pink each featuring its own centerpiece that drew inspiration from a different fairy tale. My favorite was certainly the Cinderella inspired table. 


Crowns made from metallic paper were placed throughout the space, and they were a big hit for guests.




The food was a delight, with vegetable trays and other finger foods; my favorite was the spinach and artichoke dip. Guests could also choose between a vast selection of sodas and dessert was a choice of cupcakes decorated with different colored frosting.

The food was served by a superb group of underclassmen who were extremely courteous and lovely. Some even offered to get refills for their upper-class peers and they all helped clean up the food mess after prom. They did all this while looking absolutely adorable.

The upstairs area that doubled as a dance floor was transformed into an enchanted forest with ivy vines and lanterns.

The grand march was my absolute favorite part of prom. I really loved seeing my classmates all dressed up and walking under the gazebo and into prom was thrilling. Everyone looked awesome. 

This year, it seemed as though A-line dresses were most popular.  The A-line dresses were followed by fitted dresses in short or high-low length.  Cut out shoulders, cut out backs, and low necklines dominated.  Rhinestones and sparkles were an absolute must. The colors I saw most were sliver, grey, and different whites. Red and black were popular colors as well.

The prom prince and princess were Jasmine B. and Cobye R.; they both sported white ensembles with hints of red.


At 11:30 Aleigha M. and Ken K. were crowned the prom king and queen. They shared a brief royal dance before prom dispersed and everyone headed for the after party.
