Well, if we're going to do it, we may as well start to arrange it.

What are the issues for one? Transportation. Anybody in the midwest wanna caravan out east for a prom That would be a party in itself. Rent a coach bus, and get us on out .

Or we could mass-order greyhound tickets.

Well that'd only apply to three things:
a) if we have it at Nats
b) if teams are not able to attend Nats
and c) if we have it on another date and in different places at once or at different times.

alright first off... we will need to get permission from FIRST if we are going to call it a FIRST prom. then choose a place. one of us has to reserve that place... ofcourse that will cost money. getting this news to everyone... setup. tickets. i wouldnt bother to ask my own team if i could go to the prom as a field trip... because team wont agree most likely. why not just go on our own. inputs, suggestions, comments?

You already called someone as your date! How about this: You, me, Court, and your date will storm the dance floor and break out some mad dance skillz. Sound good? 'K.

If it's going to be in the summer, have it in Manchester. There's a nice courtyard near the FIRST HQ down by the river...that would be beyond pimp. We might even be able to get Woodie to DJ for us

Well you could work with FIRST and the Congress center/Omni to see if they can host it in either, considering we're quite literally taking over the place.

haha i like that idea Jake!
I hope everyone likes this idea and it could really happen. I think the #1 place we should have the dance is in Chicago Comon its the best place to have it haha

Wait wait wait
if there's a FIRST prom there has to be a FIRST prom king and queen.....
I vote for myself!

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

At the rate we're having dates, I think we should have a few kings, and a few queens of different sorts.

I nominate myself for DDR Queen . I love DDR.

[Blacknight]

Fine I'm calling DDR king, Spam can vouch for me

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Woah. Looks like I have another date!!!

Seriously speaking, if my team buses or something, I'd merrily drag along my CF to Nationals with my laptop so that we coudl, in fact, do DDR wherever.

I'll bring my RedOctane pad and we'll bust some moves. Court--I will beat you.

You got some competetion Jake! Same with playing Texas Holdem.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with Chicago (unless its at nats), since it is a big, fun city only 2 hours away from here.
In addition to DDR, there HAS to be some DJing or Freestyling going on. I even wrote a FIRST rap for IRI, but I wasn't allowed to perform it (it WAS appropriate, it was just that, well, ask Amanda). I'll rap it up at the prom/dance/DDR thingy.

[shyra1353]

I totally love this idea, and had thought about it over the summer, but never thought that anyone else would too ....

Anyways, as much as I hate saying this (because the way it seems right now, I am not going to nats) but I think nats is probably the best place to have it. You have the most teams there. But the summer seems better because of no school, but people do things over the summer and might not be able to make it.

And then, if we are really going to do this, then I guess we have to start fundraising. How much do one of these things cost overall?? (Ive neva held a prom but I know tickets can range from $40 - $125 CDN at schools here depending on where you go, what is included, and how much money has been previously raised).
