Blackhawks Gear Up for Prom at Spring Pep Rally
On Friday, May 4, La Quinta High School’s ASB hosted a blackout rally, where they officially announced the prom theme, “A Night Under the Big Top.”
ASB member, Laila Khan ‘19 stated, “The two themes battling against one another were ‘A Night Under the Big Top’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast.’ However, ‘Beauty and the Beast’ had a lot of copyright issues, so ‘A Night Under the Big Top’ it was.”
As the rally began, the lights were cut out and the black lights came on. The lights and music were set up by SOS Entertainment, who will be DJing at prom. The pep rally kicked off with a performance that included a mix of songs by Drake from the LQHS dance team and the local Blackhawk band, the Instigators.
After these performances, there was a game in which the juniors and seniors bobbed for apples. The juniors and seniors tied, earning both classes ten points. There was also a performance from the up-and-coming rock band class, taught by Mr. Fleischmann, as well as a Star Wars inspired dance from Tough Guys and Gals.
The rally wrapped up with a performance from the powderpuff boys’ cheerleading squad, who also was present during the powderpuff game that day.
