White and black balloons will fill the Tuscany ballroom April 30. Feathers, sequins and fringes will be appropriate for prom with a theme such as The Great Gatsby who wouldn’t want to go.

  “I came from Eastlake High School and for prom the majority of the kids went all out for prom. Even in asking they bought expensive stuff. It was really cute. I don’t go all out because I see no point in buying this nice dress for one night,” senior Sabrina Watts said.

The Great Gatsby theme is so different from previous years that students are very intrigued by it.

“The theme  is very cool because I never heard of a school doing “The Great Gatsby” for prom, especially since the movie already came out it’s a surprise that we’re still doing it, but it’s a good surprise. I am very excited about it and can’t wait to see how it all goes down,” senior Israel Gandara said.

Students enjoy a theme based on something that is trending. Senior class president Ariana Solis, wants everyone to have a good evening.

“Not only does the class president make sure everyone’s happy that night I have to make sure that all orders are coming to the hall for prom. I have to  make sure that we get all the right orders for that night and I also have to make sure everything comes on time,” student council president Nallely Ramirez said. “A lot of students don’t get that creating this whole thing for them takes a lot of time and energy. They take it for granted and sometimes it’s tiring but it’s worth it so see all the hard work pay off.

Prom ticket price to be announced, and the event is from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.
