Are there COVID Restrictions?

COVID guidelines for the venue will be delivered to students who have bought tickets at the same time as their invitation.

Do I need an ID to get in? Do you check at the door?

Yes, it is important that you have some form of ID on you so that we can identify you in order to let you into prom. There will be several chaperones who will not recognize students, so it is important for us to be able to identify you. On your dance bid, you signed approval to be searched during the times of the event at the venue. ABSOLUTELY NO drinks, mints, gum, candy, packaging whatsoever will pass through the front lobby. We will have an area towards the front of the line to dispose of all of these things if you do happen to have them.
