After prom nightmares

<p>Whoa - our high school prom tickets are under $20. It’s a very nice event held at a ballroom at our local university. Refreshments are light - most kids go out for dinner beforehand at their choice of restaurant.</p>

<p>Our AfterProm is the best in the area. We have many community sponsors for much of the food, entertainment, prizes, etc. Juniors and seniors can go - unless an underclassman is with a J or S. The afterprom is held on the same university campus in the rec center. It goes from midnight till 6am. NO ONE can leave unless a parent comes to pick them up. We have a process for permission slips, phone calls etc. when kids buy their tickets. If they buy a ticket and don’t show up to afterprom their parents get a phone call.</p>

<p>We have awesome entertainment - all the rec facilities, karoke/videotaping, fortune tellers, balloon artists (weird I know, but the kids love it) movies, etc. etc. Food going all night long - eat as much and as often as you want - most of it donated. There are prizes for everyone attending - seniors at the end of the night (actually morning…) get together for a special prize give-away with senior tickets - not everyone gets one of these prizes but their are usually about 50 prizes consisting of small appliances, tv’s, dvd players, small electronics, etc. </p>

<p>It takes a LOT of manpower and planning but turns out to be as fun of a night for the parents who work it as well as the kids - the kids don’t mind parents being there - it’s a huge place and you hardly run into each other.</p>
