Lately, most of the talk around South Lakes has been about the 2007 Prom, which will be held on May 11. Like many previous years, the prom will be held at the Sheraton in Reston. Prom is a great experience, but it takes a lot of planning and compromise to make it perfect. Many students get in arguments about where and what time they are going to eat, and what time they are going to arrive at the dance.
Much of the time, friends tend to go in groups of ten or more people, in which case they have to agree on a restaurant. In order to seat this many people at a restaurant the people in that group have to decide where they wish to go to dinner weeks before prom night so they can make reservations.
Many students, especially seniors, like to have a limo take them to the restaurant where they are eating, and then from the restaurant to the hotel in which the prom is held. Unfortunately, not all students can have the luxury of the limo, because limos are very expensive.
Lisa Andariese, Junior, said, “my friends and I are going to wait until next year to rent a limo because they cost so much money. Plus, next year will be our senior prom, and we want to go all out.”
On a normal night, limos cost a lot of money to rent; but on prom night, limo companies charge extra because there are so many people, and they need to be taken to two or three different places. Most students who rent limos rent them for a couple hours. The limo will take them to dinner, wait for them to finish, take them to the dance, and then take them home after the dance.
