WHAT TO WEAR? DO I HAVE TO DRESS UP?
Wear whatever you like, within the dress code, of course. You can wear casual clothes, or you can dress to impress by wearing a dress/skirt (no spaghetti/thin straps) or even a tie. You can also join in some fun by wearing a Hollywood themed outfit for a chance to win some prizes (Best Hollywood themed outfit, Funniest Hollywood outfit, Best Hollywood Character, etc …)
HOW DO I WIN A PRIZE!?!
There are lots of ways! Buy your ticket during the lunch hour and your name will be put in a raffle/drawing for a chance to win a GIFT CARD or (2) Tickets to a Cleveland MONSTERS Hockey Game! There will also be contests during the dance such as a Hollywood Trivia contest, best/funniest Hollywood themed outfit, and much more.
TICKET INFORMATION: HOW MUCH ARE THE TICKETS? HOW DO I GET A TICKET?
Tickets are $5 each and will be sold during the lunch hours the week of the dance. Students can also buy at the door BUT the first 20 students in each lunch period who buy tickets during lunch will get a Hollywood Star with their name on it displayed at the dance.
