Prom recap

Hello!

               Last night and early this morning was prom for Kennedy, as well as eight other schools in our area. As a junior, I usually wouldn’t have gone, but my girlfriend is a senior so she invited me. Since I’m a junior, I didn’t go to all the assemblies for seniors about what was going on when and whatnot, so I had no idea what to expect. I was simply there to look pretty and drive her around, pretty much. Since I’m a junior, though, I got to have a pretty objective view of the whole thing, and overall I was not disappointed with how it was done.

               First off, there was the Grand March. Essentially, it’s a giant photo-opp for everyone, and you can get your pictures taken professionally. This was perhaps the worst part of the whole thing. At least, the line to get your pictures taken was the worst. My date didn’t want to go up on stage in front of everyone, so we didn’t. We did, however, get our pictures taken. The line was maybe 40 minutes long when we went, which is too much. Seems to me like they could have streamlined the process a little bit.

               The next part of prom was the dance itself, which was very cool. It was held at some fancy country club, which was pretty cool. Very suave, very elegant. The DJ that they had there wasn’t the best, but they played some decent quality music, stuff that you could dance to. There wasn’t many slow songs, though, which was kind of unfortunate for all of those that suck at any other kind of dancing. There also wasn’t a huge amount of grinding, which was very cool. Although I have nothing against grinding, it’d still be kind of ridiculous at such a formal event. So I’m glad that people weren’t super dumb about it. Overall, the dance had a very nice atmosphere.

               The final part of the evening was the Post-Prom thing. Once again, with this I had no idea what to expect. I had heard from a few people that it was supposed to be very lame. So I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be really, really fun. They had a ton of free food, and I mean a ton. They also had an open gym, a bunch of different games, and a hypnotist. The hypnotist was pretty cool, he made everyone do a bunch of stupid stuff.

               All in all, I had a really amazing time at prom. I have high hopes for our prom next year.
