Dance barefoot at your own risk. If you choose to do so, you should make note of the location of the First Aid room.
If you need to change your clothing at any time during prom, for example: wardrobe malfunction or swing dance contest, this outfit also needs to pass dress check. Changes of clothes will be checked in at the red carpet room in the convention center. You may have this attire dress checked prior to your prom entrance in the red carpet room upstairs. Your checked clothing will be available in the red carpet room of the convention center whenever you're ready to change.
We realize that you may wish to remove your suit coat or tie during prom once the dancing begins. That is fine, but please be aware that at no time may your dress shirt be removed, even if you have an undershirt beneath it. The shirt must remain buttoned up to the line even with your armpits.
Because we have a very active event with lots of dancing, lots of games, and lots of fun, our student ACTION Team advises that all first time prom attendees need to realize that you will want to be comfortable instead of having to adjust your clothing all evening ( check out all their dress code suggestions ). You may also want to consider selecting an outfit that is not too tight or constraining. We want you to be handsome, as well as comfortable, while having the time of your life!
If a member of the Red Carpet Team asks you to step out of the check-in line, they will explain their concerns to you. It is possible that you will be pulled from the line and after closer consideration, no fix will actually be necessary. If a fix is required, and you want to stay at prom, you have three options:
We do not want to turn anyone away due to a dress code violation. However, we reserve the right to do so and we will. Please send questions to our Red Carpet Team.
Please be aware that we have more than one dress check throughout the evening. Our Red Carpet team, as well as other chaperones, will be looking for dress code violations all night. You may be asked to follow a team member to the seamstress area for adjustments to your attire.
These dress code rules have been in effect since the 2019 prom. Anyone inside prom who is not following the dress code will be required to leave immediately. There will be no refunds for students who are removed due to dress code violations. Those not following dress code will also not have photos depicting themselves on the prom photo website. Do your part and remain in dress code all evening.
