Post Prom was also an option for students after the festivities. Post Prom boasted about 100 attendees, many of which competed in events such as a lip syncing contest and a dodge ball tournament. The night ended at 4 AM with the student consensus being “one epic night,” according to senior Chelsey Hatzenbuhler. “Post prom was a really good time, everyone seemed to have fun and it’s a great way to keep kids from partying,” senior Zach Pederson said.
