Prom. The semi-formal party and dance where graduating high school students gather to celebrate their accomplishments at the end of their senior year. Depending on what part of the world you are from you may know it as ‘School Formal’, ‘School Ball’ or even ‘Debutante Ball’.
Preparation for Prom begins well in advance
Often, the school will coordinate and promote the actual graduation event at the school but a Prom Committee is established to arrange for the Prom party to be off school premises as the school usually does not want the possible liability of kids celebrating and partying on their property. The Prom Committee will meet to discuss and coordinate details such as date, timing, venue, food/drink, music, photos, security, tickets, distribution, collection of monies, insurance packages and all the particulars of the party. Sometimes professional party planners are brought in to help plan and take care of the specifics. Regardless, there is a lot to consider to ensure it will be a memorable, fun event.
Speaking from experience, the ticketing, distribution and collection of monies can be a nightmare for the committee members. Printing off and having people volunteer to sell tickets for the prom takes coordination and commitment. The collection and tracking of funds is yet another concern. Prom tickets can range from $50 to upwards of $250 depending on the location and what is included. Average attendance is around 225 people. With numbers like that it is not surprising that its common for monies going missing.
