"Simply Enchanted" at PCHS Prom

by Rachel Kenderdine

The lights are flashing, the music is pounding, and the temperature in the room is beyond hot. Where are you? You’re at PCHS’s recently-held prom.

PCHS Prom 2011, “Simply Enchanted,” took place on Saturday, April 9, at the St. George’s Social Center in Terre Haute, Indiana from 7-11 P.M. However, the evening started around 4:30, when students started arriving at school for pictures taken by Studio E Photography. They then gathered outside to line up for the Grand March procession, which started at 5:30.

“I thought that it [Grand March] was lovely,” said Rio Long, a prom committee member.

The Prom King and Queen were also crowned at Grand March. From the Prom Court of Millie Arp, Kati Johnson, Callie Keys, Drew Harper, Ethan Mason, and Cory Cunningham, Kati and Ethan were chosen as King and Queen.

After Grand March, students headed to St. George’s, where they ate a meal catered by the Saratoga Restaurant of Terre Haute. Prom was DJ’ed by Art Star Entertainment, according to prom coordinator Mrs. Phegley.

Rio also commented on the food. “I thought it was very good,” she said, “but some dessert would have been nice.” She enjoyed the music, too.

Prom ended at 11, and After-Prom began at midnight. Various prizes were given away, ranging from Wal-Mart gift cards to flat screen TV’s. Additionally, there was food and bowling, all for an admission charge of $5. The party lasted until 4 am.

The impression left with students seemed to be good, and Rio shared that feeling. “I had tons of fun,” she said, “because there was good music and fun people.”

We can’t wait to see what they come up with next year!
