Prom of 2010 is a month away. This years event will be hosted at the Kellogg Center on Michigan State University campus inEast Lansing. The theme is “Beyond the stars”.

“Prom is actually a mixture of two different themes that include Hollywood and Starry nights,” said senior class presidentDuVonna Bonilla. “Everyone should be satisfied and it will look great.”

Tickets for prom were originally $40 a person, with no couple prices.

The breakdown of the ticket price is $22.50 which is for the room, food and drinks, $3 for the DJ, $4 for the decorations, and $10 for pictures which includes one keychain, two 8×10 pictures and a flash drive to download 50 of your choice pictures from Life Touch’s online website within the next day.

With pictures being included in tickets, different packages will be available for purchase.

Last Friday a senior class meeting was held to confront the rumors that were going around, and complaints about the price of the tickets.

Few seniors were complaining about how the prom ticket included the pictures, which seniors did not get to vote for. During the class meeting, the option of tickets being lowered to $30 (not including pictures), with a show of hands, majority ruled to keep prices as is.

The announcement of couple prices for $70 excited many seniors. Couples who already purchased tickets separately, can go see senior class advisor Jim Allen to receive their $10 in return.

Prices will remain the same with no inflation after the date of April 15th. Allen stated that there will be a set date where tickets will no longer be on sale, that information will be announced as soon as possible.

Tickets are available to purchase from Bonilla, senior class treasurer Leslie Runyon, senior class president Katarina Johnson or Allen. Tickets are also sold during all lunch periods.

Prom of 2010 is still a senior prom only. Juniors or underclassmen can only attend if invited. Students from other schools can attend with a guest permit filled out and approved by both administrations. The age limit for guests is 21.

For students who are planning on driving to prom, there are also parking passes that are available that can be purchased from any class council member. The pricing for that is only $1.

Also for the price of $1 is a chair at a RSVP table at prom. A table includes eight chairs. As of this time, RSVP tables have been sold out.

“The purpose of RSVP tables is so that you will have reserved seating that no one can take from you, said Johnson.

It has been stated at the previous senior meetings that the Kellog Center or surrounding hotels will not be renting out hotel rooms for promgoers. Also, they will not be available for parents to rent.

Runyon said she thinks the reason why students cannot rent hotel room is because of the past experiences where rooms have been trashed. Students have parties that destroy the place and police have been called. Also, the idea that students can rent rooms after prom has many parents upset.

“I don’t like the idea of kids thinking they are adults,” said Everett parent Erika Pilar. “Kids let loose after prom, and things [like sex] happens.”

Despite the problems with prices of prom, seniors are still excited for this year’s event.
