The Prom Buzz

It’s the one night that every girl waits for her entire life and it’s the night that prom king and queen are finally announced. The day has arrived and will be full of exciting events, crazy disturbances, and full on nervousness. Some people look forward to the dinner, others to the dance, and even more to the after parties. But no matter what the importance of the day is, it signifies the end and the beginning of something new. Just days before graduation, high school seniors get decked out every year for the marvelous prom celebration activities, despite the slam that it puts on their wallets.

While the night is quite an important one there are times when I feel like it gets a little out of hand. When is the money spent just too much for one night? After hundreds for a dress and tuxedo, a few hundred for the limo, another hundred for hair and nails, and the hundred for the tickets prom begins to turn quite costly. Just think about going through this process a couple of years in a row. But after the money is spent, all good is supposed to arise from the night through carefully organizing and planning. Sometimes these same dream nights turn out in disaster for teenagers who are not prepared to control themselves and their peers around them.

First comes the Grand March, an event signified to simply show off how good each girl and guy thinks that they look. Walking in front of their classmates just to get a scream and whistle out for their pretty dress or tuxedo can prove worthless to some students. That is why more and more people each year just forget about Grand March altogether, using the extra two hours to finish getting all primped up. King and queen are finally announced and the tensions from all of the candidates wear off just before they have to leave for prom. But when its not you that wins, it probably stays on your mind for the rest of the night anyways.

Dinner with food of galore and a beautiful scenery comes second in this long night. It’s the time to sit with close friends; talking about the past and talking about the future. You eat and talk, and every so often your mind switches to the future and what it means for you. The entire dinner concept shows the importance of prom night. It is almost a method of closure for close friends and the people who they will leave after graduation.

The common identity of prom is the dance and the music that is played there. People look forward to this and the excitement that they get just hanging out with their close buddies. Actually some people get a little bit out of control while dancing, but I have to excuse them. They are simply having fun during one of the last few days of high school that they have and I know that I will do the exact same thing.

Other people look to the post parties and the fun that they tend to bring. Some chose the school facilitated event of post prom while still others chose to go and party it up by themselves. Really it is worth attending the school event. You get free food, bowling, and there are hundreds of prizes that you can win. The morning also entertains you with a hypnotist and the enjoyment of getting to laugh at your crazy classmates.

Although prom is costly and it raises the tensions of every single senior, it is definitely worth it to take the jump in. The night is the end of the old days, but it is the beginning of everything new that is going to come into your life. The prom buzz is the one to wait for
