Spring Fling

By Isabel Laib

T he Spring Fling was held on Saturday, March 11, the theme being Surfers vs Bikers. While one of the smaller dances of the year, it was still very fun. There was a playlist, cool lighting, beach balls and balloons on the ground. People danced and played games with the beach balls. Some people played with the beanbag toss as well.

The concession stand was even playing Teen Beach movie songs, some playing in the actual gym as well. It seemed there were more bikers than surfers, so they ended up getting the juice bar in the end. It seems like not a lot of people showed up but everyone who did show up hopefully had fun.

Many popular songs played and people sang and danced to them. It seems that a bunch of people didn’t want to show up though, and their reasons why were; they didn’t want to, they didn’t think the theme matched the time, they didn’t feel the dance was important, or this dance was too close to the winter formal. The dance may have been slightly empty but it was still a fun way to spend the night.

Do you ever wonder how ASB sets up all the dances and events? How does it all get set up, how is it confirmed? I interviewed Mr. Hansen of ASB for these answers and here’s what I got.

ASB first starts with having a meeting and brainstorming, coming up with ideas and running them by each other. They think about every little part they want to do before settling on an idea. They then have to run it by administration for clearance. Mr. Hansen confirms the plan, then the administration confirms the plan. They have to do this every time they set up an event. It’s really amazing what they can come up with and all us trappers are very grateful for them.
