it’s that time of year.
the gym is looking rather tired.
(gets clipboard)
who would like to help me get this gym ready for the dance?
I’m on the band selection committee.
I take no responsibility for the Tropical/Disco/Night to Remember theme that the decorating committee picks out.
I’ll be chairing the decorations committee. {b}Rosebud, Francesca **and Ruby will be the other members. On the agenda for our first meeting is “choosing a theme”.
So far the suggestions are:
“Lovers on The Moon”,
“Impressionist Paintings” and
(believe it or not) “The Crow meets The Matrix”
Our crepe paper grant has been confirmed, and we’re still negotiating with the polystyrene people. DO NOT ACCEPT ANY MORE CHICKEN WIRE please! We have enough chicken wire to decorate the gym for the next decade of Proms.
And could someone tell us are we still having the King and Queen of the Prom or what? Because thrones don’t build themselves you know!
More bulletins as ocassion warrants.
Redboss
Rosebud, Francesca that is.
possible prom themes, cont’d
- gorillas in the mist
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- Disco Grunge!
- Creepy old men with children ("theme: “artlover” by the kinks)
- hee haw
My ideal theme would be “Prom in the Playboy Mansion”. 
Having already graduated, I firmly recommend against having a midnight cruise.
If you do choose to embark upon this excursion, make damn well sure that the captain and crew understand which day it is, and that they will be sober when you show up.
Failing this, make sure you have an alternate captain and crew among the prom crowd.
I am not going to share my awesome prom theme idea, because it will be snapped up and claimed by the popular kids as their own idea.
Oops, sorry, I was thinking about real life. Hm and despite many similar incidents, the popular kids will wonder why they won’t “see me in 10.”
I can’t tell you how excited I am about this! I’ve never had a prom before. That’s why I signed up for the decorations committee. I’m the Patty Simcox of SDMB High. I’m going to make paper chains and little crepe paper roses and it’s all going to be just marvellous!
I like the “Impression Paintings” suggestion we got from that guy who wears his coat inside out. What’s up with him? Anyway… I had this marvellous thought… we could all go as the people in Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte and then we could do a wonderfully choreographed dance routine to the music from Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George. Music from a musical based on a painting - it’s perfect! I’m sure everyone would love it! Everyone loves Sondheim don’t they? Redboss - you’re with me on this arent you?
You’re sure you don’t want more chickenwire? I think FireUnderpantsBoobs should build the thrones. Is anyone taking notes? We need to form an agenda, and a plan of action. Is that your hand on my leg? What are we going to do about food? Who’s going to chaperone? Volunteers. We need volunteers. Oh gosh I’m just SO excited!
I scoff at you all with your petty prom thoughts. I’ve got no time for your chicken wire, fruit punch & popularity contest that is the King & Queen. Harrumph.
:: actually, I’m just bitter 'cause I know I won’t be able to get a date - but you didn’t hear that from me ::
:: Gasp! ::
Fran – You RULE!
That is my favourite painting and my favourite musical 
I see my suggestion for a Jailhouse Rock theme got outvoted. Again. I still say it’s great because it would really simplify the dress code but hey, it’s not like I’m bitter or anything, and no, I don’t have a date, thanks for asking. I’ll just go run lights. Or sound. or followspot. or something.
It’s that time of year again???
I thought Proms were in April and May! No wonder I didn’t go!
Suggestions of anything by Stryper as the grad theme will be met by beatings from your Canadian contingent.
As will suggestions of the gym being covered in pukey pink tissue flowers.
I’ll be happy to be on the spike the punch…errrr refreshment commitee!
Proms have themes?
Hey, Ethilrist…
:: bats eyelashes ::
Need any help with the light switches?
:: twirls hair, giggles ::
(of course, I look nothing like Martha Stewart, so I’m afraid you’ll be a bit disappointed)
[Shuffles over to matt_mcl, eyes downcast, hands deep in pockets, biting lower lip] Say, ummmmmmmmmmmmm… hi, matt. Um, say, I was, um, wondering, um… you know how that, um, prom thing is, like, coming out? Up, I mean, up? Yeah, that, um, prom, um… well, like, um, I was thinking, um… [blushes] I don’t, like, know if, um, maybe gobear or Doob or one of the other guys maybe, like, asked you already or somethin’, and, like, that’s ok if, like, you, like, have, like, somebody else to, like, go with, but, um, I didn’t know if, um, maybe, like, you and me, could, um, maybe h-h-hang out together, like, um, go? Together? Maybe? [blushes profusely, digs toe into dirt]

<Disgusted sigh> Thanks, Fran, for signing me up. You know I don’t do dances! I guess I’ll build the thrones anyway - I have some old inflatable furniture lying around. Just blow it up and go.
Seeing as our prom has to have a king and queen (and a court, too), I printed out ballots so everyone can vote. Please, don’t just nominate yourself (although I know I am!) - give others a chance.
Remember, though, guys: my name is Kerry, and you never want to make fun of someone named Kerry (Carrie) at the prom!
::Goes up to Crunchy Frog, eyelashes batting::
So, Crunchy, you already have that great jacket…and even though you’re a Cardinals fan and I’m a cubs fan, wanna go to the prom with me?
::blushes furiously::
