and “ahhs” of approval. The décor included long beaded curtains that flowed from the ceiling, white table cloths with vases filled with sparkling white jewels and flowers, fountains filled with a variety
of beverages, and a wide range of snack foods to choose from. This year’s prom crew made sure to make the theme of The Great Gatsby as realistic as possible, even adding the single green light like the one that appears in the novel and movie. At the front of the room, acrobats performed for students in metal rings that hung from the ceiling of the auditorium. In addition, there were photo booths located in another room for students to take pictures in. To add to the Great Gatsby theme, students took turns taking pictures with a 1920s car that was donated for the night by Mr. Pack. Students also gathered around for pictures with “true flapper girls” to make the night as genuine as possible. For entertainment, students filled the center stage for a fun night of dancing with friends and dates. The music included a variety of song choices selected by the DJ and by the students who had tweeted song requests to the BSHS Prom twitter account. To top off an exciting night, Mr. Jolley took the stage to announce Prom Court. When buying prom tickets in advance, students nominated fellow classmates and the list was later narrowed down to four choices each for both Prom King and Queen, and Prom Prince and Princess. Upon entering the auditorium, students were asked to vote among their selections. With a drum roll, students waited in anticipation as Mr. Jolley announced Tysean
Edmundson as this year’s Prom King; Mackenzie Carey as Prom Queen; Baxter Murray as Prom Prince; and Josie Pettit as Prom Princess. The 2014 Promenade was a night to remember for BSHS students and truly captured the theme of the 1920’s. It will definitely be difficult to top next year. A huge thank you is given to all those who brought together this year’s prom and gave each student that attended a night full of memories.
