After seeing action almost every day over the last two months, spring training has departed and returned Salt River Fields to its typical state of dormancy until next spring. However, on April 29 the stadium’s baseball atmosphere will be transformed into New York City, the bustling town that stands as the setting for this year’s prom, “Waltz Down Wall Street.”

The theme was derived from both the classy vision that Student Government (StuGo) had for the dance, as well as the dance’s location.

“We wanted to think of a creative and classy way to incorporate the venue… into our theme,” junior class president Monroe Matson said. “When we got to brainstorming, someone threw out the idea that we could make it New York themed, and use the Yankees as part of our decoration.”

While the Yankees will play a role in the dance’s decorations, Matson assured that StuGo is going “full-on New York.”

The theme caught some students off-guard, however. “I was surprised, I didn’t think it would be Wall Street. It’s interesting,” junior Ellie Poplawski said. Poplawski does remain excited for the dance, especially the venue. “It’s going to be really big and crazy. I hope to see everyone having a good time collaborating, dancing, living.”

“Waltz on Wall Street” will take place from 8-11 p.m. at Salt River Fields for upperclassmen. For those that have not yet purchased tickets, they will be sold at the door for $65. Students will be restricted to the main lobby and the upper levels of the stadium, with access to a suite for pictures. Also, Panera will be catering cookies to the dance’s attendees.

The DJ group Satyr will perform at Prom, making this their fourth Perry dance this year. With Satyr being a popular group among students, many will show up to Scottsdale prepared for a night of dancing and entertainment.
