[QUOTE="Andy, post: 154931, member: 5096"] Last year when my daughter was a Jr, her school held their Sr/Jr Banquet which includes a Grand March. They don't do a dance but dress is as a prom. My daughter was not allowed to do the march on her own and refused to have a 10th grader as an escort so she missed out on this last year. I was soooooo mad at the school - I really believe Proms are glorifying dating and if you don't have a boyfriend than you are not good enough for the March. Why can a girl or boy not be individuals and be presented on their own? She was allowed to attend the banquet and bowling afterwards but the March is the highlight and dream of girls attending. Anyway, this year as a Sr she attended a very small private school that does not have a prom. She had no connections with anyone in the public school to go to that (which is fine with me - so boring watching how many hours of kids walking through waiting for yours when it is a large school?). So it looked like no prom for her. Then her cousin 4 hours away invited her to go to her prom with her. She found a friend to be my easy child's escort. It was so important for my daughter to have the experience of a March. Then, just a few days before the event, cousin's date backed out (needed to stay home to take care of sick mom). So, cousin asked her dad to take boyfriend's place. Dad even went out to eat with easy child, cousin, another girl and the bfs. Cousin received permission for dad to do the March with her. He asked what the parents would think and I replied, "all the dad's will be jealous." It was a great event for all involved. I can't see signatures while replying so don't remember if a dad is in the picture or not. Otherwise, the school may offer an escort just for the March? [/QUOTE]
