FIRST prom... a Crazy thought!

[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.

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.

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).

oh come on shyra ... you thought about it... dont you remember telling me about this and we were talking about it... it wasnt during summer... it was before summer...

[Brian Lesser]

This is just one of those ideas that makes me think "Why didn't I think of this?"

But this sounds like a great idea, seeing that I probably wont get a date for a real prom

[Jillian B.]

It's pretty sad. I am entirely incapable of doing DDR! Just ask my team. I (all 3 times) managed to trip over my own feet. Yeah, I can't dance, do DDR, or be very creative with duct tape. O well.

Still loving the idea though. Definetly will try to come if it comes together.

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

[Matt Attallah]

Kudos to you all if you can get this pulled off at a regional/Nats.

Personally - I missed my Senior prom for the 1/4 mile drag strip. NHRA High School nationals where held on the same saturday - and that came first!!

really I did ?? wow .. i completely forgot about that. goes to show how much I have had on my mind ...

[Nica F.]

i agree with someone else who said that it should be in Atlanta.
a FIRST prom would be pretty fun/interesting especially since a bunch of robotics kids actually dont go to prom to attend championships

[jackie Ha]

YEAH! Thats a great idea. It will probably be the only time we see our college mentors in a tux/dress. It'll be a a gathering of team without any type of competition, unless you count Prom King/Queen.

Wow, what an old thread. Anyhow, sounds interesting. It'd be kinda difficult to organize though.
