Prom 2011 Is now History

An evening of music, merriment and mirth now part of memories and tall tales for later years. Target Field in the Legends Club area was attractive setting for the junior and seniors. Over 550 students appeared to enjoy the evening.

Long gowns in a rainbow of colors was the fashion of the evening. Traditional black was very much in style but also were pastels and some beautiful yellows and bursts of bright colors. For the gentlemen of the evening more tuxedos appeared and the affair appeared more formal and traditional. With the Lang hem lines then seem to be compromise of open backs and low cut tops. Spring tans were definitely part of the fashion statement.

Deserts were delightful and a pleasant addition. For the past two years, dinner was part of the event but this year was finger treats and excess excuses for more sugar. Te black and silver table settings was contrast with the stadium seats over looking the ball diamond. Between rain drops, catching a breath of air was its own adventure.

Dancing has not really improved. In spite of some efforts to change the bump and grind method of pretending to dance, the dance of the evening still seemed to be a bit too let's jump around and rub. Many young people moved away from the over zealous grinders but still more than necessary in some quarters. We still have some work to do tomcat back to dances that actually look at the person with whom he/she is dancing.

Overall the evening appeared to be a success. Have to wait and get the hallway reviews next week. Whatever might have happened , there will be reunion stories.
