Students arriving at the California Science Center on May 16 will walk beneath the stars under an archway of golden globes and onto a red carpet that welcomes them to their 2015 Prom, ‘Second Star to the Right.’
“The prom committee wanted a theme that would fit the location but not be the same as ‘Moonlit Wonders,’ which was the theme two years ago,” Junior Class Vice President Rachel Lin said. “We decided that Neverland tied in with many aspects of the location, such as the golden globes outside the prom entrance, which reminded us of the stars and night sky before Peter and Wendy went to the ‘second star to the right.’”
The venue will span over two floors this year, and offer a wide range of activities for party goers. Not only can guests dance the night away, they can also visit a few of the Science Center’s exhibits, such as The Creative World, The Human Body and The World of Life exhibits.
“The amount of entertainment this year is phenomenal, as well as how big the dance area and the venue are,” Junior Class President Alan Fong said. “For those who don’t enjoy dancing, there will be many exhibits to visit, a photo booth, high wire bicycle and karaoke.”
As for the food, students can expect a gourmet chicken salad as a main course, and baked desserts to accompany the meal. There will be several tables placed throughout the venue to offer dining areas for up to 10 people per table.
In previous years, students had been upset over the fact that there were not enough theme references.
“We hope to make this prom more relevant to our chosen theme than prior years without making it overwhelming,” Junior Amber Lee said. “Some of the references are subtle but I think it’s cool because even if the students don’t understand the references, the dance itself is going to be enjoyable anyway.”
ASBL and Prom Committee members kidnapped Rebecca Chen, William Fang, Asjia Fulcher, Billy McGavin, Janabelle Peng and Andrew Song on April 22, donning them with crowns and sashes as this year’s Prom Court. Voting for Prom King and Queen is now available on Edline.
