FORMAL ATTIRE IS REQUIRED: DRESS CODE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED!
Boys must wear a dress shirt and tie, slacks and nice shoes. A sports coat is fine. A suit is fine. Absolutely no shorts, jeans, t-shirts, polos, ripped/distressed clothing, or old tennis shoes can be worn. New tennis shoes are permitted.
Girls must wear a dress: Floor length dress preferred, (not mandatory), prom dress (mid-thigh or longer) or high/low dress with dress shoes, heels, or clean tennis shoes. No pants, slacks, or pant suits. Anyone wearing anything revealing, see-thru, shorter than mid-thigh or inappropriately low cut will not be permitted to enter the formal. Dresses with high leg slits or plunging necklines will not be permitted. Please be mindful of flowy material/length of your dress when you are dancing/sitting. WE DON’T WANT TO SEE YOUR UNDERGARMENTS! Strapless /two-piece dress is permitted as long as it’s not a crop top with midriff exposed.
If questionable, feel free to email for pre-approval to chefofgnoinfo@gmail.com. I would like to reiterate that modesty should be at the forefront. We will check dress code at the door, and WE WILL TURN AWAY those who don't follow it.
MUSIC: appropriate (non-explicit) pop, dance, hip hop, disco, and alternative music will be played throughout the night. Song requests will be taken beforehand and previewed for appropriateness. Dancing is permitted (and expected)! Song requests with overly suggestive lyrics, drug use, drunkenness, or language will not be played. Clean versions will be played when possible! You can submit your song request using the link at the bottom or by emailing chefofgnoinfo@gmail.com

We will need as many hands as possible to help in the days leading up to the event! If you are able to help in any way, please use the signup genius link! We will need some heavy lifting (preferable dads) to help set up tables and chairs the Thursday before the dance. The day before, Thursday, we will need help during the morning and daytime decorating. Volunteers will also be needed after the dance and for cleanup and resetting the chairs to their original position.
