Junior Prom

The past Saturday, May 2nd, the juniors at RHAM High School enjoyed their junior prom. The prom was held at Maneeley's in South Windsor. Each student had to pay $40 per ticket. 190 students showed up to the event. The prom court included Libby Fiumara, Kristy Nicolo, Rob Luneau, and Robby Husta. The Prom King was Tyler Repoli, and the prom Queen was Lindsey Scarpace.

The were 300 favors which cost about $600. Also there was a huge 2010 ice sculpture, a punch fountain and a chocolate fountain all provided by Maneeley's. Maneeley's also provided the food. The DJ was hired from a company called Entertainment Unlimited. The DJ cost the junior class $1000. Also the photographer, Randy Anagnostis, cost the class $600. The pictures can be viewed on www.shutterfly.com and can be bought at a discounted price. The junior class hired a decorator for $400 from M&J Decorations.

For the past two years, since an incident where 12 people showed up to a dance drunk and alcohol was found in their party bus, RHAM has started to use breathalyzers at every dance. Every student that went to the RHAM junior prom passed the breathalyzer test. Also the administration will search any hired vehicle such as limos and party buses. All limos and party buses also passed the search at this prom.

Next year the current junior class is hoping to do a dress swap among the girls to try and help cut the cost.

Please post any comments about your experience or any way you think prom could be more affordable for students.
