School Proms In the late 1940s and early 1950s, as Americans enjoyed the luxury of the post-war economy, school proms began to become elaborate and extravagant events. |
It became very important to come to the school prom with the best-looking date, and being crowned prom king and queen guaranteed instant social status.
It was also during the 1950s that teenage girls began to pay more attention to their beautiful prom dresses and make special shopping trips for the perfect outfit. While the high school gym was adequate for sock hop dances, the settings of junior and seniors proms were gradually moved to grander locations in the local area.
Today this tradition is more alive then ever with every girl and guy looking for the ultimate outfit, the ultimate transport and the ultimate evenings entertainment.
With a 1940s and 1950s themed school prom Blackout Boogie Rockin’ Record Hop can offer a slice of history and theme the entire prom from invitations and flyers to transportation and music. We can even supply a live band to compliment the Record Hop and make it the best prom night imaginable!
We can also erect our mobile movie screen and show vintage clips of dancing, movie trailers, cartoons, lifestyle and public information broadcasts from the 1940s and 1950s for a true visual and audio feast. We have a live camera feed that can also focus on the guests dancing and put them on the big screen for all to see.
We can work with the school to design the invitations, the flyers, the posters and can provide transport either for the guests of parked up at the entrance to the prom for that added touch of class.
We ensure that everything is affordable and fun and make sure that everyone is happy with the event.
