Students prepare for the 2014 prom

Dressed in flapper dresses and tuxedos, students will walk into the 2014 prom and be transported to the roaring 20s, Gatsby style. The venue for prom is in Commercial 2 building on the California Mid State Fairgrounds on May 3 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., where students can expect beyond-average decorations and a night to remember.

“We will not just be in the open dirt somewhere, we will be in the Commercial 2 building which leads into their vineyard,” said Chemistry teacher and junior class advisor Brittny Nation, who is aware of students’ concerns about the venue.

Due to the amount of money that is being saved on the venue, a large portion of the budget will be spent on other decorations and necessities such as fun music, bright lights, confetti cannons, game tables and food. Freestyle Entertainment will provide a wide variety of music.

The Prom Expo gives students an opportunity to see the years’ styles for dresses and tuxedos, and it will take place on Wednesday, Apr. 10, during lunch in the quad.

“There are a lot of places around town where students can buy dresses and tuxedos and a large majority of them will be featured at the Prom Expo this year,” Nation said.
