a most gala event

what was once an agricultural meeting building set the stage for the unrolling of the hollywood red carpet and the arrival of 80 teens for our tve 2012 prom. these homeschoolers entered past the paparazzi, then danced the night away under twinkling candlelight, accompanied by djB and m.c. Beloved Son. two friends danced the footloose choreography which provided some very fun entertainment. at least 3 months in the planning of many many details, hours of set up, and many many hands and hearts made this event magical and oh so memorable. it turned into a tall order, a big job, and positively grand. i adore these kids, all of them. oh yes, we have (even bigger) plans for next year!

 how track stars and ballet dancers square off?

remember this?

 

here it is, upcycled along with another...can you see them? bronze spray paint and baby food jar lids glued for candle holders...

 

chaperones get to have fun too :) thank you sarah for this shot
