The winter dance, where students can have a good time for cheap with tickets only being $10

and with Student Government making sure they maximize the fun being had; there will be an outdoor area that students can check-out cool food trucks as well as games with the accompaniment of a live DJ. While all that is going on there will be dancing happening indoors with a second DJ blaring his cool jams.

But my question is, what’s the point?

The winter dance is a big waste of time, information about the actual dance has not been all that clear and I know very few people that are even considering attending.

The announcements about the winter dance have not been crystal clear, whenever I have asked any of my friends about it there would be a simple shoulder shrug followed by an “I don’t know.” The first time any real concrete information about the dance was known was in an interview with Student Government president Aaron Clouse.

As the interview with Aaron Clouse continued, it became known that StuGo and other students had pushed for this, he said “Yeah we did…we kept on getting suggestions from students and people from within StuGo.” I do not doubt that people were wanting an extra dance since Perry had the homecoming dance so early that it left a large gap where there are not really any school activities going on. Being a Perry student myself, I think that the winter dance is unnecessary.

When junior, Aaron Levels was asked about what he thought about the winter dance he had stated “I don’t know if I would enjoy that,” and when he was asked about what he thought of the idea that they were planning on having games outside and dancing inside he had said “It might be too much.”

Though I am sure that if someone were to pay to go, they would have fun, and I can tell that StuGo has put a lot of time and effort into preparing this dance for the Perry students. All in all, it’s your money paying to attend Perry’s winter dance.
