Have you always wondered how many people really go to formal? Who really spends the time looking for dresses, shoes, and jewelry? I asked people why they go to formal, how it’s like for them, how much fun they have on that night; I wondered how beautiful they feel in the fancy dresses and makeup and dancing with all their friends or their dates.

Here’s what Jackie Lemus shared:

Question – Why do you go to formal?

Answer- Just for the fun of it, trying to make the best out of my high school years.

Question- How did you find out about formal and want to start going?

Answer- Lots of people were talking about it during my middle school years, plus some people were posting pictures about it.

Question- Do you enjoy trying on dresses and buying them for formal?

Answer- Yes and no; I  don’t like trying the dresses on.

Question – Do you enjoy walking through the grand march?

Answer-I didn’t do it last year so I don’t have an answer.

Question- Are you going with a date?

Answer- Why yes, I am.

In conclusion, Formal is a high school dance that can be attended with friends or on a formal date. This interview hopefully highlights that everybody can go and have the time of their lives. Maybe, just maybe, it will make a special memory for your high school years!

Formal is sponsored by the Rainbow Girls (not WHS). Tickets for Formal are one for $15 or two for $30. See Forever Watford for questions.
