Gotta find a tux.
Where’s that perfect dress?
Have we found everyone we want in our group?
Do we want to go someplace fancy to eat before?
Don’t forget the corsage.
Who’s driving?
Dad, you’re embarrassing me!
Be home by midnight!
Prom is a Big Deal to many, yet to others it is just another thing to do.
Regardless of your view, prom season is here. Blue Valley High School had their prom last weekend. Proms for Riley County High School and Manhattan High School are this weekend.
Most of the schools in the area have a Promenade before the prom. The couples are introduced to the waiting crowd and who have a chance to clap, cheer, take photos, etc of the couple before they enter the prom.
Following Prom, most of the schools have an After-Prom Party. Basically, this is a chaperoned, almost-all-night party designed to help give kids a reason not to be out doing what they shouldn’t be doing. It’s a great idea!
Ah, but what about that tux?? Borck Brothers has a great deal every year. A basic black tux can be rented for prom for $50. This is a bargain!
So, get out to the Promenade and see how everyone looks when they get all cleaned up. It’s quite a site, cheap entertainment and fun, too.
