What is the order of your events for the 6th form ball/prom?

Mine is:

6:30 - photographs
7:30 - dinner
9:30 - awards and speeches
10:00 - disco
12:30 - disco ends


Don't think it has an order quite like that...

7ish PM people turn up start drinking

then there will be some kind of hot buffet

then sometime around 1ish things will end and we will all either go back to our rooms and carry on drinking or stand and wait for taxis for 2 hours...

Mines on Sunday, don't think everything is at a strict time but people turn up at 7.30, everyone gets a drink and then have a sit down 3 course meal at about 8pm, followed by speeches etc and then disco till 12am! Some people are going in a limo afterwards, one of whom is me :-)

Similar to my prom. :p: We have a strict time though, but it doesn't matter. I don't think not much people will go on a limo though, as we are all taking a coach there. That way, it will be cheaper. In addition, the coach is included in our fees for the prom anyway.

I think ours is

6 - boat to the fort


Boat?!
Fort?!

I had my ball last night and it was fantastic even if i do say so myself (I organised it!). The order was something like...
7.45 pm - Bus (yes, bus, not boat!) took us to hotel
8-9 pm - bucks fizz and photographs
9 pm - buffet
9 pm - drinking, dancing etc
10.30 - speeches- i had to walk across the room to collect a bottle of champagne as a thankyou for orgainising the ball and I was just a bit tipsy!
12 - bus took us home

I had such a great night with all my mates and it was sad as it was goodbye 6th form! Hopefully they'll invite us back next year to the ball.

Similar kind of timetable except wer weren't allowed to drink at our prom. Even though some of us had turned 18, no pupils were served at the bar. Kind of put a bit of a downer on the evening.

Ours is at a hall in the town (next to swimming pool- sulubrious(sp)!) It is formal dress and for the ticket price of £7 we also get sausage n chips from the local chippy. Going to be great?? :confused:
