Why it matters

The 'Under the Sea' theme aims to create an elegant and immersive experience for attendees, showcasing the creativity and hard work of the junior class planning committee.
The details
The junior class planning committee considered several themes before settling on 'Under the Sea', which they felt would allow for creative and visually striking decorations. The decorations will feature ocean-themed elements like blues, whites, and a large ship prop that students will walk out of. The committee has faced challenges in trying to make the prom a positive experience for the entire junior class, ensuring the theme, music, and overall atmosphere cater to their diverse preferences.

What they’re saying
“We decided on a whole lot of themes, and we were so conflicted. We were all yelling at each other, and it just came to 'Under the Sea'. We were talking about what decorations we were going to be for it, and it just clicked, and we're like, 'OK, 'Under the Sea', this is what it's going to be.'”

“Our decorations are all ocean-themed. It's not going to look too tacky; it's going to look very elegant, lots of blues and whites for the waves. We're going to have a big ship that is going to be the part that we walk out of, and so overall, it's just going to look really good.”

“I've thrown out ideas, and there are a couple of other boys with me, but we just kind of throw out ideas, but I feel like it's ultimately the girl's choice.”
— Devon Farley, Member of Emery High junior class promenade planning committee (castlecountryradio.com)
“Some of our hardest challenges have been trying to make this prom the best experience for everyone in our junior class, making sure that they like the theme and that they feel confident. And we want to make sure that all the decorations, the music, and everything make everyone feel like this is their prom year. This is making them feel good about their prom experience.”
— Morgan Mills, Member of Emery High junior class promenade planning committee (castlecountryradio.com)
“It's super stressful. You hear a lot of complaints about it, but you know, you kind of just have to ignore them and really show them how well it's actually going to look, and all the juniors are going to hate the theme at first, but then all the seniors are going to end up really jealous of it. But we're going to leave a good impression this year.”
— Zoee Perea, Member of Emery High junior class promenade planning committee (castlecountryradio.com)
What’s next
The promenade portion of the dance is free to watch, but donations are accepted.
The takeaway
Emery High's annual promenade is a highly anticipated community event, and the junior class planning committee has worked hard to create an elegant 'Under the Sea' themed experience that they hope will leave a lasting positive impression on their classmates and the broader Emery County.
