Prom is fast approaching, so here are all the details you should know about the upcoming event.
The dance will be held on Saturday, May 3, from 8-11 p.m. at Indigo Hall in Spartanburg.
Tickets will be available on April 21 for students purchasing tickets online. Cash or check purchases will be open the following week.
Students planning to purchase tickets the week of prom can obtain them in the cafeteria during lunch.
The price of tickets will be $45 each.
If students plan to bring someone who’s not a Chapman student, they must fill out an outside guest form.
Outside guests can not be over the age of 21,
These forms will be located outside Tina Gragg’s, the head of the prom committee, door, room 307.
After completing the guest form, students must turn in a printed-out picture ID of their guest and the completed form to Assistant Principal Joe Anderson so he can approve them.
After Anderson’s approval, students must turn in the approved guest form to the prom committee so they can sell them a ticket for the student and their guest.
Gragg has been involved with the prom committee for roughly eight years and has served as head of the committee for six of those years.
“I was helping this other teacher, and I just told her if one day she ever needed help to let me know, and she did,” said Gragg. “The two of us did it together for a couple of years, and then when she left, it naturally landed on my lap.”
Seniors and prom committee volunteers Kadin Horton and Delaynee Dunagin are eager to rise to the challenge of arranging the prom.
“I wanted to have more control over what the theme and setup of the prom was going to be,” said Dunagin.
“Being a part of the prom committee has been fun,” said Horton. “It’s a great group of girls, and I love Ms. Gragg.”
The organization for the prom has run smoothly thus far, with a productive and proactive set of volunteers.
“It’s stressful because there’s so much going on in my head that I need to do and make sure I have squared away,” said Gragg. “But the prom committee has not been stressful. They are a nice bunch of girls, and we have been proactive in doing the things that need to get done early, so they make it easier.”
