Prom is just around the corner for A-TECH’s upperclassmen. The biggest concern that arises with most students is what to wear. So how do students match the theme, correspond with their date, and still look good? It is actually rather simple.

Music of the Night is the A-TECH prom theme this year. Music of the Night comes from a song from the musical Phantom of the Opera. Students can expect to see a lot of black clothing since black is the color most people associate with Phantom of the Opera.

“When I think of Phantom of the Opera,” said junior Khanitha Nimkorn, “I think of lots of black, gold, and blood red.”

Since prom is fifty dollars this year, money is also an issue with most students. Some good places to find cute dresses would be Dillard’s, JC Penney, and Macy’s. They have cute affordable dresses.

“I found really cute dresses that I liked at Dillard’s,” said junior Katie Graul. “I am not sure where I’m getting my dress from yet though.”

For guys, there is nothing wrong with a simple suit or tuxedo for the occasion. The Men’s Warehouse and Tux shop in the Meadows Mall are great places to find affordable tuxedos.

“If I end up going to prom,” said senior Brent Flores, “I intend to wear a plain black tuxedo.”

Some students love the prom theme and plan their attire to correspond with the Phantom of the Opera theme but others do not.

“I think that the theme is great,” said junior Lilien Gil, “but I’m wearing a long, turquoise colored dress.”

With prom being this weekend, it’s important to get a dress or tux reserved now instead of waiting last minute and having the best dresses already taken or your tux size unavailable.
