Prom Preview by Lucy Menendez
Jesuit’s junior/senior prom is planned for Saturday, May 15th, 2021 from 7:00- 10:00pm. Prom will take place on Jesuit’s Cronin Field.
Juniors and Seniors are invited to attend the 2021 Enchanted Forest themed Prom. It will be an outdoor event with a live band and dessert. Students can be dropped off by the flagpole and walk through Mary’s Way. Mary’s way will be filled with lights, similar to sader lights. Candid, “runway” photos will be taken.
As the night continues, students are invited to visit dessert and drink carts: Shaved Ice, Churros Locos, Italian Soda, and Hot Chocolate.
Seniors will be provided with complimentary blankets to enjoy the live music on the field in a concert-like experience. Juniors are encouraged to bring their own.
The entertainment is Blue Wave Band, a high-energy wedding band based in Portland. The band will play for the entirety of the night with a few ten minute breaks.
Student Government encourages students to think of summer outdoor concerts when deciding their outfits. Students can dress in a semi-formal or a traditional formal prom outfit (e.g. long formal prom dress or tuxedo).
Tickets are required to attend. Ticket prices are $10 per person online and can be purchased here. Tickets will not be sold at the door.
As of 5/6 250 tickets have been sold for the Prom.
