You never get another chance to go to the prom! Since the beginning of time, parents and teachers have been sending the same cryptic message to high school students to convince them to dress up and dance the night away in a dark gymnasium with their peers.
This past Saturday JCCI Forward and friends of JCCI proved them all wrong at Forward’s 10th Anniversary Celebration, It’s Your Prom! hosted in the heart of Riverside.
Friends and family gathered together to travel back in time to the glory days of their prom. They entered through a small hallway lit only by the flash of the prom photographer’s camera. It was a literal “blast form the past” as JCCI Forward celebrated their anniversary by honoring the most monumental decades of this past century.
Prom goers arrived in their 70s, 80s, and 90s best. The punch was spiked. The disco ball shone bright on the dancers, side ponytails whipping through the air, as they attempted to execute time-honored dance moves such as the sprinkler and running man.
At the end of the night, staff at the reception hall was reluctant to let JCCI take down the prom decorations. The décor was left pinned to the walls and halls so that other groups could bask in the afterglow of the festivities.
JCCI and JCCI Forward want to thank all of those who attended and for honoring the 10 years of commitment and accomplishments that JCCI Forward has demonstrated. It was a night that will never be forgotten.
If you missed it, well…you never get another chance to go to your prom.
