Prom was on Saturday, April 12, at 7 p.m. Tickets were $55. It was an event for only senior high school students at Webster Groves.
Senior Brooklyn Matthews said, “I am excited about prom. I have pictures with my friends before and then after we have a party, but my day is gonna be pretty stressful. I have to do my hair, curl my hair and do my own makeup and then get ready.” From getting ready to coordinating with friends, the preparations add just as much to the event as everything else.
Senior Tony DeArmitt said, “I don’t know. I went to prom last year, and it’s like another school dance at another venue. I might go, but I’m not very excited about it.”
DeArmnitt said about what would make the dance more enjoyable, “You gotta bring back the slow dance because the slow dance is very multiple choice. It adds a natural cycle to the constant non-stop stream… You just can’t keep that pace up for two hours; you kinda of have to have some flow to it.”
Senior Riley Fitzgerald, prom committee member, said about planning and preparation of prom, “We weighed how much it cost in previous years and then how much the venue would cost and how much we wanted the tickets to be and then based everything off how much we wanted to spend for the tickets.”
Senior Gabe Wright, prom committee member, said, “You wanna make sure you have the best venue for the vibes and space, making sure you fit enough people, so it’s not too crowded. Make sure it has all the amenities for fun.”
