Winter formal: “Once Upon a Dream...”

From FORMAL | Page 1 students’ favorite songs of the night included “Tití Me Preguntó” by Bad Bunny, “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey and “Love Story” by Taylor Swift.

“[It was] fantastic,” said freshman Niki Tzartzanis. “There were some great music choices, and I didn’t get crushed while dancing, which is always a plus.”

When they were not on the dance floor, students found themselves enjoying the buffet with an assortment of hors d’ oeuvres, entrees and desserts. Some of the favorites included pot stickers, chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese and sliders.

The greatest hit of the night however, was the “Every Day is a Sundae” ice cream bar. Students had access to a build-your-own soft serve station with toppings like chocolate sauce, whipped cream and assorted candy. Unfortunately, the machine broke near the end of the night and some students were left without a taste.

“I thought the food at formal was pretty good this year,” said senior Brooke Anderson. “I liked the variety because I like filling my plate up with different foods and having a party. I thought the dessert options were solid too, although I was disappointed that the ice cream machine broke before I could get some.”

Dancing was not the only social activity of the night, as students had the opportunity to pose with their friends in the photo booth. Guests could choose from a variety of fun props like hats, glasses and flower leis and a theme-related backdrop enhanced their photos. Additionally, activities such as board games and cards were provided by the winter formal committee to accommodate those who are not so interested in dancing. This year’s formal proved to be a success for the winter formal committee, and students look forward to attending their next NDB dance.
