<p>I got to dodge this one (although I will admit to going down 'da shore after my suburban Phila prom many moons ago). Daughter’s Interlochen prom was called MORP and was held, believe it or not, at a car dealership showroom. She said it was awesome. Also, since it was Interlochen, all the boys already had tuxedos. You could have a date- or not. Lots of great dancers- the ballet kids, etc. No one was shy- a bunch of performers. They took the kids there on a bus and bussed them back to Interlochen.</p>
<p>Son’s boarding school prom (which he got dragged to by gf against his will-I think I posted about it last year) was at a rented mansion or some such place. They bussed the kids there and back and he thought the whole thing was terrible. The parents thought it was great. Tickets were not expensive and there were no limos or dinners ahead of time. I think the poor girl’s mother got the flowers. I had long since stopped being embarrassed by my boorish son. My big shock was the pictures and the revealing dresses the girls wore (I thought I had seen everything). My son’s date has over half a boob showing in the prom pic.</p>
