Ehh, sounds all too familiar in ways. Anywho, my high school's proms/balls were rediculous. The hosting class (either Junior or Senior) wanted to rip off everyone else as much as possible. Tickets were $35-$50, they put up really chessy decorations, and that was it. On a RARE occurance that a memoriabilia was offered, you paid additional, photos were additional $25+, plus dress, tux rental, flowers, shoes, hair, nails, dinner, etc, etc. Then the host class took the ticket money paid for the really cheap decorations in the high school gym (which my senior class decoration comittee had to pay for out of their pockets) - and the rest of the money went towards the VERY few kids who participated in senior week activities and senior trip.
On the other hand, wait till college formals. Much nicer, cheaper, etc. University usually hands out a chunk of dough to help host the event.
