Junior Prom was Saturday, April 29, and it took place at the Masonic Temple from 8-11 p.m. The theme for this year’s prom was “Enchanted Garden.”
Getting into the venue was not complicated at all unlike other dances where the lines feel endless. This time is was quick as our bags were checked at the entrance where they collected our tickets. To ensure safety students were scanned with a metal detector before going up the stairs. The venue was decorated very nicely and they had a table with a lot of different desserts and cute decorations.
Up multiple flights of stairs, you entered the dance floor through an arc filled with flowers. The venue was pretty big and it had two rooms: a room with tables to sit down at that connected to the main room where the dance floor was.
Halfway through the dance, they crowned the winners of Junior Prom Royalty on the balcony. CJ Romero won King, and Cynthia Romo won Queen.
The only negative thing I would say about prom was that it was extremely humid, even though they had the air conditioning on. Because there were a lot of people, it was difficult to feel the cool air. The DJ could have been better because they played some good songs, but they also played some songs that a lot of people just didn’t know or couldn’t really dance to.
Overall, I would say that junior prom was a good time and would say it was worth it. The venue portrayed the theme of “Enchanted Garden” and was super spacious. The dance coordinators set up a photo booth, snacks, sold drinks and giving water for free. The turn out in attendance was a good. Something cool that they did was give out LED foam sticks, so when people were dancing the flashing lights created a cool effect.
