Piano music accompanying arrival and dinner by Eric Barfield.

Dance music is from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. by John Scott of Joyful Sounds, Inc., the Christian DJ. We have used him before and he does a fantastic job playing songs the students enjoy and can dance to. He is very good at including plenty of fun things that are not exactly dancing for those that "don't dance" like the "snake," a follow-the-leader type thing and circle dances. Traditionally, at some point in the evening, the graduating seniors are individually introduced and honored. A few details about them are gathered early in the evening and announced at this time.  This year John Scott, owner of Joyful Sounds, will emcee and provide the music.

Guidelines:

● This will be a well-chaperoned event.
● Once a student leaves the premises, he will not be permitted to return.
● There is no alcohol or smoking associated with this event.

Attire:
The students are amazing every year. Who knew they could clean up so beautifully?!
● Young women are expected to dress modestly. They should check their outfits with their fathers before leaving home. Since this is a formal, formal gowns are appropriate. Nothing too low cut and no slits cut too high on the dress.
● Young men should wear either their suit and tie or a tuxedo.
