DD’s ticket was $45. It included a buffet dinner and DJ. It was held at a local resort-hotel. (It was just on Sat. night.). It is for Seniors and they fundraiser all through High School towards the Prom. (whole class fundraising, not individually). Underclassmen can attend, but they need to be asked by a Senior. Some attended as couples, but most that I saw went together in groups, no dates. (DD went with a group of friends, not as a couple.) I didn’t see any “prom-posals” this year, so it seems like that fad is ending here. DD and I even had a conversation about that recently and she said that few girls had been asked to Prom this year. The only people she knew who were going together were already dating each other.
There was also a Post-Prom party which is held at the HS and planned by a committee of Senior parents. Tickets to that were $30, or $25 with a donation of peanut butter for the food bank. It is a much more casual (more fun) event with laser tag, entertainment (a hypnotist, DJ), dodgeball, inflatable slides, food, prizes, etc. It went from 11-5 am. You can attend Post-Prom and not attend prom, as long a you buy a ticket. Sadly, DD did not attend, as she has her club team practice on Sundays and she wanted to be rested. I told her she could just go for a few hours (need parental permission to leave early), but she declined. I think she regretted it a little, but tickets needed to be purchased in advance and it was too late.
My older DD graduated in 2016 and, due to a large doner, her prom ticket was free! Her Post-prom ticket was $25. Both events were at the same venues as this year and included the same things.
