McClatchy\u2019s Down By The Bayou Spring Dance, inspired by the Disney movie \u201cPrincess and the Frog,\u201d did not have the turnout we were all expecting, but it did end on quite a dramatic turn of events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With tickets being sold for $10, the dance seemed quite empty compared to other dances in the past few years. Students came decked out in fancy gowns and tuxedos, excited for what the night would hold. As students began getting their tickets checked at the door, it became apparent that the night wasn\u2019t going as a lot expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the gym, the music was quite generic for a typical school dance. They played a lot of personal favorites from the 2000s, and students could be found dancing their hearts out under the strobe lights scattered around the dark gym. Although they went all out and had a food truck and a photo booth, and once a couple friend groups began to form, many students began to make the most of the night and not let the small turnout get them down. But, after an hour, a lot of students began leaving the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dance continued until an unsuspecting event occurred towards the end of the night. After a student passed out on the dance floor, the staff was alerted and then swept the clearly intoxicated student out on a wheelchair. Although unsure as to how the alcohol came about, the student remains safe and unharmed. An ambulance and firetruck came but were then sent away after the students\u2019 parents picked them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McClatchy does not condone the behavior that was presented at the dance on Friday. We at the Prospector hope the student is well and getting the support that they need. We hope the next dance goes a little bit better and has a better turnout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you or a loved one have any issue regarding alcohol, you can contact (844) 833-9524 for any help or questions you may have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
