SOG Gets Into Spirit Ahead of Prom

A look at some of the ensembles every day of Prom Spirit Week.

By KNIGHT WRITERS STAFF

Leading up to the big night, the Robinson Student Government organized five days of spirit in a Prom Spirit Week.

The first day took everyone back to 2020, when daily life moved to a Zoom call and everyday became a pajama day. On Tuesday, pairs or groups dressed up in outfits that rhymed but didn’t necessarily go together. Wednesday was all about Adam Sandler, with recreations of his iconic baggy outfits.

Thursday, students chose whether they would be hitting the barn as country or the golf course as country club. Finally, Friday was the day for the seniors with the return of the classic Respect Your Elders Day, with senior students dressed up as old people, juniors dressed as middle-aged adults, sophomores as elementary schoolers and freshmen as babies.

With no pep rally beforehand, this year’s Prom King and Queen winners were announced at the dance. With everyone on the dance floor, the royal court of the Robinson High School Night of Knights was announced: George Daniels (‘23) as King and Kohana Pousson (‘23) as Queen.

Voting for prom court began on Canvas on Monday, April 10, with a total of six candidates.

Daniel won his campaign against the only other candidate for the title, Philip Dillard (‘23). Pousson on the other hand was in a pool against three other girls: Akaisha Angevin (‘23), Mia Reineke (‘23) and Tahra Greenidge (‘23).

Read along to get to know this year’s Prom Royal Court and their Night of Knights experiences.

Q: Why did you decide to run for Prom King/ Queen?

GD: Cause my best friend Kohana ran, so I just ran too.

KP:I just thought that it’s my senior year so why not? I also had a lot of people telling me and my best friend to run together so I ended up convincing my best friend to run with me for King and we just went through with it.

Q: How did you feel leading up to the prom court announcement?

GD: I was kinda nervous... I guess... I dunno.

KP: I was just doing it for fun so I wasn’t too worried about winning or anything but I was excited and couldn’t wait to find out who won it.

Q: What was your favorite thing about prom?

GD: Favorite thing about prom was them announcing that me and Kohana won prom king and queen.

KP: The music... the DJ was extremely good especially compared to homecoming. I just loved being able to dance with all my friends to good music.

Q: Would you recommend running for prom court?

GD: Yes. Yes I will. It’s a cool thing to do

KP: Yes I would. It wasn’t too much at all and it wasn’t a worry or a stressor. It was actually laid back and super fun and plus you get a little bragging right.
