Five. Days.
After years of looking forward to this, months and months of planning, and weeks of bringing it all together, all that remains between us and Prom is . . . five days.
Can you believe it?
Everything is coming together (except for the date – but we knew that, right?) and I’m ready to finally just experience Prom night . . . our last night as a class.
This is the beginning of my Prom story . . . and, although the date thing is, well, a thing . . . there’s something exciting about not knowing how my story Prom story will wind up.
Someone out there will be my last dance. And they don’t know it yet. I don’t know it yet. But I know this . . . it will be something I’ll always remember.
Also, it will be at 10:55 pm. Principal Dunnan has been really clear about that.

Lucas100: Let’s talk about Prom. People want to know about Prom, right?
StickHippoROCKS97: Dude, we can’t even go to Prom.
Lucas100: I know, but as music geeks, we owe it to the school to talk about music at Prom.
Lucas100: Like, a Prom playlist for instance.
StickHippoROCKS97: You sound like a girl.
Lucas100: Dude just help me out here!
StickHippoROCKS97: OK, OK. Um. Playlist.
StickHippoROCKS97: Just fill that thing up with the best of Stick Hippo.
Lucas100: Stick Hippo isn’t appropriate for everything, Corey.
Lucas100: Like, if you’re driving your date to Prom. You need something romantic. Like, smooth jazz? Probably not smooth jazz.
StickHippoROCKS97: Stick Hippo.
StickHippoROCKS97: “Megafauna” from the first album
Lucas100: What about when you’re at dinner – maybe some power ballads?
StickHippoROCKS97: Stick Hippo.
StickHippoROCKS97: “Pliny the Elder” (Live Version)
Lucas100: Or maybe when Prom is over and you’re on your way home.
Lucas100: Perfect ending to a night: sleepy indie lullabies?
StickHippoROCKS97: Stick Hippo.
StickHippoROCKS97: Deep cut. B-side of the ‘Graviportal’ 7” called “The Jambles”
Lucas100: I don’t think this is gonna work.

"Epic dancing, son. Epic dancing."
- Eric Ramsey, Junior
"I have five - count 'em five - AP classes. So, any night outside my house or library is a 'night of my life' . . . "

WHEN DANCING AT PROM, HOW CLOSE IS TOO CLOSE?
"Well, simply put, grinding makes you look stupid and desperate. I prefer a 2-3 inch radius of space around me while I cut my sick moves. And I do mean sick."
- Stephen Brock, Freshman
"I was raised to do the cha cha slide. So, next to each other is best."
- Tim Carmon, Junior
"If you wouldn't want your mother to see, you're too close."
- Tina Depman, Freshman
"The thought of slow dancing makes me so nervous, I can't even think about this."
- Brandon Eastman, Sophomore
"Totally depends on who you're dancing with."

Prom is just over a month away and there’s still so much to do! It’s funny . . . the more time I spend putting Prom together, the less I feel like it’s my Prom.
I have a massive checklist to go through every day, but I still haven’t had a chance to even try on a dress. Is that terrible?
I love putting this night together for our class, but I can’t wait to just go to the dance and enjoy it like everyone else.
Everyone else seems to have a date, though. Yikes.

Every Prom needs tunes. It sets the mood, even before you get to the dance.
As soon as she gets in your car, the Prom experience should begin. Start things off with some fun jams, you know?
My girlfriend is a model and also Greek, so that means she likes a good Euro House sound. It’s not my thing, but it puts her in the right space, you know?
From there, you’re gonna want to segue into some kind of slow situation. Something that’s going to set the tone for a night of magic and mystery.
Old people music is really good for this, but you have to choose this stuff carefully.
Also, stay away from jazz. It can trick you by starting soft and sweet . . . but at some point, some guy will go bananas on a trumpet. It can be scary.
Here’s a tip about music on Prom. Don’t sing along. Even if it’s your favorite tunes, just let the music wash over you and set the mood for you.
