Students walked down the red carpet and were announced if they arrived between 8:00 and 8:45. Court royalty were announced later in the evening, around 10:00. King was Gage Westerhold and Emma Hunter was crowned queen. 

To further advance the theme of the dance, the venue was decorated mostly in shades of gold, red, and black. A large Hollywood sign was set up as a prop, by ag teacher Gene Collins, and in an area available to students for photos. Photo areas were available under balloon arches thanks to the expertise of ELA teacher Lexi Crowley.

Snacks, salty and sweet, were available to students: mini-cupcakes, brownie bites, chocolate-dipped pretzels, a fruit tray, and salty trail mix.

Overall, the venue came out to cost $12,000. This included the DJ, snacks, tablecloths, chairs, tables, they set up and took down, but OHS staff did all the decorations.

Students who planned to attend were sent a google form survey to collect data on their plans for prom. When asked how their attire would match the Old Hollywood Theme, Marilynn Forrest, senior, said, “Unplanned, but someone told me that my dress looked like Marilynn Monroe or Jessica Rabbit and I already admire the hair and red lips of the early Hollywood days, so I suppose I fit the fit the theme.”

Mariah Malisheski, senior, said she fit the theme because she has a dark and mysterious past. 

Students were asked several more questions, including what their dinner, transportation, and preparation plans are. 

The most popular places students went to eat at before prom included Texas Roadhouse, Iron Horse, and Mexican and Chinese restaurants.

Several students planned to get to prom with friends. Some said they would be driving themselves. Few planned to have a designated chauffeur.

56% of respondents said they would be doing their own hair and makeup. 32% said they would be having their hair done by professionals.

Students were very excited for prom. Especially seniors, as this was their last school dance before graduation.
