School Prom night is the school Dance for all Seniors and Juniors to enjoy their last dance in high school. In the US Guys ask Girls to be their prom dates. I was so impressed how opened the guy was, when he asked his girl to prom. It was something I’d never seen before in Thailand.
In the United States, and increasingly in the United Kingdom and Canada, prom (short for promenade) is a semi-formal (black tie) dance or gathering of high school students. This event is typically held near the end of the senior year (i.e., the last year of high school). Proms figure greatly in popular culture and is a major event among high school students. High school juniors attending the prom may call it “junior prom” while high-school seniors may call it “senior prom” or “senior ball”. In practice, this event may be a combined junior/senior dance.
At a prom, a Prom King and Prom Queen may be revealed. These are honorary titles awarded to students elected in a school-wide vote prior to the prom, and seniors are usually awarded these titles. Juniors may also be honored, but would be called “Prom Prince” or “Prom Princess.” Other students may be honored with inclusion in a “Prom Court.” The selection method for a Prom Court is similar to that of Homecoming Queen/Princess, King, and Court. Inclusion in a Prom Court may be a reflection of popularity of those students elected and their level of participation in school activities, such as clubs or sports. The Prom Queen and Prom King may be given crowns to wear. Members of the Prom Court may be given sashes to wear and photographed together.
some of my friend got asked to prom!!
Similar events take place in many other parts of the world. In Australia and New Zealand, the terms school formal, and ball are most commonly used for occasions equivalent to the American prom, and the event is usually held for students in senior years. Many schools hold a formal graduation ball for finishing students at the end of the year in place of or as well as a formal. In Ireland a debutante ball or Debs may also be held. Debutante balls are also arranged in Australia; in Poland high schools organize a “studniówka“. The term “prom” is becoming more common in the UK and Canada due to the influence of US TV shows and movies.
It was my very first prom dance, we went with the group of friends we got to dressed up and hang out with a bunch of friends
Before Prom Photo shoot we took a lot of pictures in front of our house
After we went to prom night dinner we went to downtown Lynchburg for the photos taken it was dark at the time and prom night party almost started
James Bond Picture!
We also went to the Grave yard for the Photos shoot. it was such a pretty place full with all colorful thousand of flowers
In thus picture there were exchange students from Germany, Finland and me from Thailand.
My Finnish Friend said In Finland,In Finland, the equivalent of the prom is called vanhojen tanssit (ball for the old). The event is in February when high school students in their third year stop going to school in order to prepare for their abitur exams, and second grade students become the oldest in the school. Students learn 10–15 dances for the event. Earlier the habit was to wear old clothes and look old. Nowadays clothes are very much the same kind as in U.S. proms.
and also my friends from Germany said that in Germany,students celebrate their graduation from high school, or Gymnasium, with an Abifeier (from the graduation certificate or Abitur). The events are informal and usually contain a series of student-organized activities that tend to make fun of teachers, sometimes with an extended hagiography about the favorite teacher. More like the prom is the Abiball, that follows the official graduation ceremony. Here the students usually wear suits and ball gowns. The Abiball often follows a certain order with a welcome, introductions, an award ceremony for students and sometimes an extended demonstration of all of the artistic outpourings of the students and staff. This is followed by a band (sometimes the school’s own band, if there is any) or a DJ playing music, usually starting with a waltz before moving on to other dancing. Alcohol is available at these events since the legal drinking age in Germany is 16 (for beer and wine), and most graduating students are 18 or older
It is sad because in Thailand we do not celebrate Prom night like they do I which we could have an amazing prom night like them. It was such and amazing and unforgettable time I did had so much fun.
After Prom Party with some friends all night long
After the prom, parents or a community may host a “prom after-party” or “afterglow” or “post-prom” at a restaurant, entertainment venue, or a student’s home. Other traditions often include trips to nearby attractions, such as amusement parks, regional or local parks, or family or rented vacation houses. Some of these post-prom events are chaperoned and some are unsupervised. Many Post Proms (After Prom Events) are at the school, and involve bringing entertainment such as interactive games, artists, and other entertainers to the school.
