Sounds like a fun night ... and very nice that 'no date required'.

DD and I were just talking about her school's 11th grade semi-formal - it will be in the spring, and she's on the "semi committee" (which invites my unending joke of "what you can't afford a full committee?" - LOL I slay me). They've looked at a few clubs/resturants - and are trying to keep the costs to $50 a person. I think it will also be couple or alone, and once they figure out *where* to have it, they'll be able to do the rest of the planning.

Hope your DD has fun! Any pics?

Sue, mom to Leah and Seth

Hope she had fun. Must be Hog Town tradition. Here, in Bytown, none of the schools have Grade 11 Semi-formals. But the Grade 12 Grad Prom has a similar "everyone" goes rule. Very few kids go in couples; they go in groups. And younger kids don't tend to go. It's for the graduating kids only. They start the evening at the Chateau, go on a boat cruise on the other side of the "border" and end up at massive sleep overs at a few of the kids' homes. It's an all night event.

None of our school's events, including prom, is "couples only."

I never meant to imply that I agreed with that policy, just mentioned that was the way it was at that particular school!
