ASB Plans Inaugural Spring Formal

On Thursday April 2, Poly will host its first annual Spring Formal. This year’s theme is “A Night On the Red Carpet”. The dance will take place from from 8 to 11 PM at the Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach. Although the formal is scheduled for a Thursday evening, school will not be in session the next day. “Because seniors have prom, we noticed that there wasn’t really a formal dance for underclassmen,” Junior Class President Emily Ngov said. The responsibility of decorating, planning, and making decisions has been appointed solely to the Junior Senate. At the event, Student Commission will provide a variety of treats and activities for guests. There will be appetizers and refreshments served throughout the night, including smoked chicken, beef skewers, veggie egg rolls, and even a gelato station. DJ Sayso will be turning the tables, playing songs of all music genres, encouraging guests to dance along. For those who prefer to avoid the dancefloor, Sanford Studios will be taking pictures of the guests at a free photo area. “In order to buy a ticket, students will have to fill out a form to get cleared by the banker and the book room,” said junior Kelly Chap. The dance extends an invititation to students outside Poly as well. If people who do not attend Poly wish to come, they must be under 21 and fill out a separate form to buy a ticket, which will be available in the activities office. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale starting Tuesday March 10. Students are advised to purchase tickets from the banker as early as possible as ticket prices will rise each week. Between March 10 and March 13, tickets will only be $40. However, they will cost $45 from March 17 to March 20 and $50 from March 23 to March 26. They will cost $60 from March 30 to April 2, so students should not wait until the last week of sales, as there are also a limited number of tickets that will be sold. Student Commission has invested significant effort and enthusiams in this year’s Spring Formal, and expects that it will be enjoyable and momorable for all who attend.
