As the light in the sky was slowly fading and the clock struck eight, the Tracy High Winter Formal of 2023 began. The theme this year being based on the Disney movie, “Tangled”.
By 8:45 p.m., the dance floor was crowded with students and guests. As everyone entered there were three photo ops, the 360 photo booth, a backdrop photo booth and a glowing flower archway.
Staff members walked around passing out cupcakes, water bottles, and popcorn for the students to enjoy. The Tracy High popcorn machine provided fresh popcorn with a station for easy access and refills.
“I love how they had cupcakes and popcorn, very delicious, and the design for the archway is so pretty,” Maya Germes, a freshman at Tracy High, stated.
With the many options of table available the room was illuminated by purple lights and strobe lights every now and then.
The music was remarkably similar to the songs played at Homecoming, resulting in some people trying to make song requests but unfortunately being denied.
“Homecoming was a little bit better, but this one was still fun,” Germes laughed.
As soon as “Love” by Keyshia Cole started playing, everyone in the room began singing out of their heart and soul, as loud as they could.
As the music faded and the time reached 11 p.m., the dance was announced to be over. While some kids ran to take their last photos, others were streaming out the doors.
A couple of students stayed behind and ate the last of the cupcakes. Two students walked out with a tray full of purple and blue frosted cupcakes, giggling at one another. The clicks of all the heels disappeared into the abyss of the night, laughing still being heard even from the empty cafeteria, giving the staff and ASB a soft smile as they cleaned the room.
