Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I bring a guest from another school to the dance?
  Yes, but please be aware of the following:

  • Any student bringing a guest who does not attend PHS must purchase tickets ahead of time. Tickets may not be purchased at the door.
  • You must fill out a guest pass at the time you purchase your ticket with your guest’s name, address and phone number on it.
  • Guests must have an I.D. with them. A school I.D., Driver’s License or State I.D. will be accepted. Guests 21 or older are not allowed and also Junior High students are not allowed.
  
  
• Do I have to come with a date?
  No, absolutely not. Many students prefer to come in groups of friends, not with dates. The most important thing is to come and have a good time!
  
  
• How do I dress for the dance?
  The dance is semi-formal. Girls will usually wear nice dresses or pantsuits and the boys will wear suits or a shirt and tie. No jeans or gym shoes are allowed. Look sharp, but be comfortable. A coat check will be provided for you by the V.I.P.s.
  
  
• What time is the dance and where is it at?
  The dance is from 8 PM until 11 PM in the cafeteria. Please remember it is school policy that once you arrive at the dance, you cannot leave and re-enter! Students must arrive by 9:30 PM through the gym entrance doors.
  
  
• How much does the dance cost?
  Tickets for the dance are $20 per couple and $10 per single when purchased ahead of time. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at concessions during all lunch hours Monday through Thursday, September 27-30. Tickets are not sold the Friday before the dance!
  At the door, all couple tickets will be $25. Single tickets will be $13
  
  
• Do we need to bring our I.D.?
  If you are purchasing your ticket at the door, you must have your PHS I.D. When buying tickets at the door, no person will be allowed in without a PHS I.D.
  
  
• Will there be a photographer on site to take portraits if we want?
  Yes. Halterman Photographers will be available at the dance to take pictures. Pictures must be paid for at the dance. You have your choice of a variety of packages and price ranges. Picture order forms are often available at ticket sales during the week until we run out. They are also available the night of the dance at the area set up for the photographers. Pictures will be distributed at PHS during lunch hours a few weeks after the dance. An announcement will be made.
  
  
• Do we need to rent a limo?
  No. Limos are usually saved for Prom.
  
  
• Why have we made so many changes?
  • The policy regarding guest passes and restrictions of not selling tickets to non-PHS guests at the door are strictly for your safety. We want to be aware of who is in our building.
  • The same goes for requesting PHS students to have their I.D. with them.
