Q&A Where is prom located this year?
St. Louis Union Station What is the theme this year?
Golden Gala What is the parking situation at Union Station? Price? Valet?
Parking is provided. There is a huge lot located right next to the main entrance where everyone will come in. There’s also valet parking provided. Students can valet for free. It’s included in the price of the ticket. What time does prom start? How early can students arrive?
Kids usually start showing up around 6 or 6:30 to line up. Will there be a place for students to put their shoes if they don’t wish to wear them?
Because it’s a tabled and seating dinner event people will usually leave their shoes at the table. Is there a dress code for prom?
We typically don’t have issues with dress code at prom. Can you bring a purse to prom?

Piontek’s Prom Advice • • • •
Ladies, it’s not the end of the world if someone shows up with the same dress as you. It just means you have good taste. If you think you can pull off a white tux, you really should check with me first, and I will tell you if you can or not. Bring a pair of collapsible flats or flip flops so you’re not barefoot. Birkenstocks work well, too! Come into it with a positive attitude!
