Classes profit from dance, despite low attendance

Over 400 tickets were sold for the Sadies Hawkins Dance, which took place on Saturday, March 31 said Marianne Vukas, Senior Class adviser.

Tickets for the dance were on sale all week starting Tuesday in the main hallway, Vukas said. At a price of $10 a ticket, they were able to make a profit.

“That number is not yet determined,” said Vukas. “We need to subtract funds for the DJ and other miscellaneous items.”

A DJ can cost up to $600, according to Vukas. However, this wasn’t the only expense for the dance. Other expenses included printing tickets and other items. The cost for each dance varies depending on the year and dance.

“I thought it was better than Homecoming,” said Kim Stavale ’13. “I liked it because they cut the gym in half and the DJ wasn’t in the middle.”

 To save money and keep a larger profit, the refreshments are donated by parents. Teachers and parents also donate their time by volunteering to chaperone the dances. There were no behavioral problems at the dance, Vukas said.

“I heard no one was going,” said Alex DuMouchelle ’13. “I’d rather work than go to a dance that none of my friends are going to.”

After the dance ends and all expenses are paid, the two classes divide the money and are free to spend it on class activities or put the money toward their Senior Prom.
