We performed at a Prom last night, and we had a great time! The students attend a small Christian school that doesn’t sponsor a Prom. So, the seniors put together a committee, sold tickets, and held their own Prom (sophomores and juniors were invited as well). To top it off, they did a fantastic job. The theme was Gala Among The Stars, so there were stars on the wall and the tables, with blue tablecloths and chair ties to match.
Once it was dark outside, the house lights were turned off, our full lighting package threw some awesome lights on the dance floor, and the party began! (That’s the beauty of a lighting package: it really lets you create a dance environment that encourages the crowd, even the shy ones, to get out on the floor.) The music, while mostly current Pop/Hip Hop, also featured a variety of other genres. There were some awesome dancers in the crowd!
As our small gift to the graduating seniors, we provided a complimentary Gobo light, which projected the words “Prom 2009” on the wall directly behind where the Prom King and Queen were crowned.
There was some fun and wild dancing that night! They were all going crazy for “YMCA” and doing a soul train to it, it was hilarious watching them do the “Apache” dance, and they were all out there for the Cha Cha Slide. From slow songs to fast, there were people dancing almost all night long. It was so great to see so many of the guys out there dancing as well. It really was a fun time and we enjoyed working with these students. They truly were a great bunch.
Finally the night had to end, so the senior class song was played, and the partygoers headed out. Congratulations again to all of the graduating seniors of 2009! Go Eagles!
