As the school year comes to an end, the upperclassmen are filled with the anticipation of the many end of year events. During the ever stressful junior year, students use the excitement of their prom to keep them motivated while the seniors use the banquet, senior BBQ, and graduation. Even though students use these events as motivation to finish the year, teethe question always arises: Which is better, Senior Banquet or Junior Prom?
Although Prom and Banquet are both formal events, the attire is completely different. For the girls, Prom is the time to wear the nicest dress possible while Banquet is a little more casual. Many fashion trends will carry over between the two events, but the most basic difference is dress length. Prom dresses are typically floor length while banquet dresses are usually on the shorter side. As students, it is important to know the difference between the desired attire to avoid buying a costly look that is not appropriate.
As for the boys, tuxes are a must at the prom. When attending the banquet, however, the guys can go for a more casual and comfortable look. Mason Rickli, a senior at Washingtonville, gave his outlook between the events and stated, “Prom is like an overrated sweet 16 in a sense, while banquet is just go and have fun with your friends.”
Due to the more formal nature, Prom can be extremely stressful especially for girls. WHS junior, Celine Lewandowski, expressed she is “definitely excited for prom, even though it is such a stressful process due to finding the perfect dress, hair, and makeup.”
Another discussion among students is the overall cost difference. Prom can be extremely expensive due to ticket prices, tux rentals and dress purchases, limo rentals, and flowers. On the other hand, Banquet is more affordable due to the fact that the most expensive part for many is the ticket itself.
Whether you prefer Prom or Banquet, it all comes down to having a good time with your friends and making as many memories as possible.
