Mist hung in the air like fairy dust, lanterns and torches illuminated the way to the castle, and music echoed in the night. When you first step onto the path to castle Mcculloch the road took on a dark and scary scene, but when the castle appeared, the atmosphere transformed into a fairytale. Although it was cool and rainy outside it couldn’t hide the splendor that shone from the walk on the torch covered bridge to the inside of the castle. The first few steps inside were enough to keep you in awe; not only because of the view that one was given of the outside, but also because of the grand chandelier that captures your attention from the moment you first walk in. The Prom committee definitely did an amazing job in not only the location, but also in hiring a professional photographer and DJ, as well as having games and raffle tickets for students to win prizes. What probably stuck out the most would have to be the theme, which was ‘Once upon a time’. While guys showed up with their tuxes, girls released their inner princess by wearing either big ball gowns, or fit and flare dresses. The night started off with a lot of socializing and exciting chatter, and although people were a little shy of stepping onto the dance floor, two students broke the ice by having a dance off. This definitely excited the students because when the song ‘The Wobble’ by V.I.C came on, everyone immediately started dancing, from then on everyone kept their feet planted on the dance floor, including teachers and staff.
Aside from the dancing, couples were taking the time to have their picture taken by a Professional photographer, while those who went with groups of friends went in the photo booth. The night was definitely full of activities for students to do; whether it was socializing, taking pictures, dancing, eating, or playing games. I was able to interview Lisa, a senior at EGHS, when asked of how she felt about how Prom turned out she said “It was a little creepy driving up here and kind of hard to find, but the castle looks amazing”. She wasn’t the only one who thought so, Dr. Bishop, an EGHS Member, said “The setting is just beautiful, and everyone looks fabulous”. For the most part everyone seemed to be having an amazing time, so I was able to interview the one who was responsible for the organization of Prom 2015. Ms. Shakiri Jones, an EGHS teacher as well as the one in charge of organizing it said “I was very happy with how everything turned out, and I think everyone enjoyed it for the most part.” Since the ‘Once upon a time’ theme was such a success, I was able to ask her how she was able to come up with it, she answered by saying “Well the Junior and Seniors in the Prom Committee were brainstorming ideas of what the theme should be, and one of those were ‘Once upon a time’. Also since the venue was going to be Castle Mcculloch, ‘Once upon a time’ was the most obvious and fun choice to go with”. Aside from the actual Prom, one of the things most students might have been looking forward to was finding out who Prom King and Queen was going to be. The three finalists for Prom King were Connel ‘Tre’ McLean, Quayson Williams, and Terrell Pickett; while the three finalists for Prom Queen were Ariel Sheares, Shamisa Sumpter, and Jordyn Williams. When all the voting was done it was announced that Prom King was Connel ‘Tre’ McLean and Prom Queen was Jordyn Williams. All in all, it was a night to remember and definitely a Once upon a time moment for EGHS Juniors and Seniors!
