The Madagasquerade Prom, scheduled for Saturday May 4th, is approaching quickly. Between finding a date, paying for bids, or even avoiding the notorious 5-805 southbound traffic, it is no wonder some students are feeling apprehensive.
The prom is set to take place at the San Diego Zoo similarly to last year. Students are allowed to arrive at 7, yet doors close at 8 and will reopen at 10. The prom ends at 11 o clock.
Students usually choose to arrive just before the doors close and remain at the prom until it ends.
Junior Executive President Milana Tucker said,
“Prom is going to be a memorable night full of fun, dancing, and excitement! We are going to have amazing food, a great DJ, and photographer, and masks for everyone to take pictures in and take home.”
The prom will be full of a variety of activities for students to participate in, all of which are somehow related to the theme of the ‘madagasquerade.’
The Associated Student Body (ASB) had announced the senior prom court on rally day, a court consisting of Senior girls Abigail Balmert, Jenny Morgan, Rosyln Kackman, and senior boys Denis Howell, Brandon Michel, and Lucas Lawson.
The court was introduced after a jungle themed rally in which sneaky penguins, the ‘mance’ team, and even CCHS sports MVP’s all made an appearance.
The rally seemed to excite students for the upcoming prom, just as members like Milana Tucker had hoped.
She said,
“ASB has been working hard to make this prom the best one yet so that everyone attending will have a great night to remember.”
As for this years class of 2013, the rally seemed to be simultaneously supportive yet disappointing in light of the upcoming prom. The senior students attempted a pre-senior prank by rushing the gym floor and revealing a class of 2013 banner to be released as they rushed the gym, yet the banner failed to open all the way.
Students stood looking up at the banner in disappointment until a maintenance worker used a miniature crane to fully open the sign.
Regardless of the error, senior students seem to be still looking forward to their upcoming last high school dance.
Senior Davis Ladd said,
“I am still pretty excited about prom despite the failure of our banner. The rally helped to excite me even more.”
