We all know that Circus is going to be the theme of this years prom and from what I've heard, not many people like that idea. In the summer, the class presidency asked us for theme suggestions, but they didn't take any of them. It's sort of insulting that our input would be completely disregarded like that. This prom is for ALL of us, so we should ALL try harder to reach some kind of compromise. 

Most people agree that Circus is a childish theme and we want a more formal prom. The girls don't want to get all dressed up and then take pictures next to a clown and a lion. I have seen the Circus decorations from the Eventscapes people and they do look okay at the Coconut Grove but that's because that place has really high ceilings. Our venue doesn't and I don't think people have taken that into consideration. There's another picture of some of the same decorations from the Coconut Grove but it's at a different venue (one with lower ceilings like ours) and it looks pretty much like a kid's birthday party. This is prom, not a birthday party. 

Despite the popular belief that French words make everything classier, a cirque is still just a circus and not any less unappetizing. When Eventscapes made the "Cirque De L'amour" theme for another school, they used normal circus decorations.
