As you can see in the previous post, Jamie went to the Junior Prom this year. Although he is only a freshman, he went with a Junior girl named Nikki. They had a great time! They went as a large group of friends to dinner then the dance. There is a tradition here called the grand march. Parents, family and friends all fill the bleachers, camera's ready, to see the participants be formally announced, stroll down the path in a spotlight and strike a pose for pictures before being seated. When all names have been announced, the parents, friends and guests leave the gym so that the dancing/partying may begin :) He looked so dashing and yet so like a my little boy..geesh they sure do grow up fast! The background music is Jan's pun regarding Jamie going with the older girl ;). The march was actually to modern pop music played quietly so as not to be heard over the announcer.
Auri almost went to Prom, however, the guy she wanted to go with was unable to attend as he would be out of town for the weekend. He did invite Auri to go with him, however, upon learning that it was a proselytizing activity for his christian church...she decided that she couldn't miss anymore school :)
