How to Save Prom

Recently, Brophy administration announced their plans to continue with Prom in the summer, which was immediately met with disappointment and sadness from seniors. Many fear few will actually show up after graduating; fortunately, we here at The Wrangler are known for our logistical prowess and originality, which is why we have come up with a few ideas of how to save Prom.
1) Invite as Manyssssssss Underclassmen as Possible!
If there’s one thing seniors will miss as part of their Brophy experience, it’s the underclassmen.
Fret not, simply inviting the entire freshman class to Prom will solve this problem completely! With the possibility of showing off their best dance moves with the most memorable part of their high school journey, how could seniors possibly resist? This is a win-win for seniors and especially freshmen, the
real victims of the educational impact of COVID-19.
2) Invest in More Fogssss Machines!
Without a doubt, fog machines automatically make every dance cooler (both literally and figuratively), so go all-in! Buying at least quadruple the amount of fog machines Brophy already owns to reduce visibility as much as possible is sure to properly set the mood for Prom and give the Class of 2020 one last hit of nostalgia.
3) Make it Country Themed!
The majority of the student body may have missed it, but a similar dance happened last year.
What could go wrong?!?
4) Boys Only!Let’s be honest: having too many people on Brophy’s campus post-coronavirus is a liability, and it’s imperative to
reduce any possible spread of the contagion. To avoid this, just make Prom exclusively open to Brophy students. Allowing the boys to reconnect one last time in the absence of females is what they truly want; this policy is a no-brainer.
5) Institute Overreaching Coronavirus Policies!
Again, COVID-19 will still be a threat in this new environment, and we must be as cautious as possible. Here’s a brief list of ideas to institute at the dance to liven it up as much as possible while maintaining a thorough sanitary regiment: 22.5-feet minimum between students, hand sanitizer instead of water-refill stations, and tissues as confetti. This is certifiably™ hype!
