Logan prom was on Saturday May 13, 2017 from 7:00 p.m to 11:00 p.m at the Scottish Rite Temple, Lakeside Drive, Oakland CA 94612.
People who bought their tickets the last week of sale had to purchase them for $120. People with ASB who had bought their tickets earlier got them for around $90. Parking for students nearby costed $10. Thje Oakland police department was guarding the venue for the protection of the hundreds of students attending.
Preparing from prom took a fairly long time. Therefore, ladies that still needed a dress at the time went to Logan’s Princesses club as they have slightly used dresses free of cost as new ones are quite expensive. Those who wanted new prom dresses but had a tight budget visited the site https://www.promgirl.com/ as they have several varieties of good quality dresses under $100 and free next day shipping was being offered. This website also sells shoes for ladies looking for high heels or sandals, most of them range from $50-$60.
Students at Logan sold corsages that they made, but others made it themselves, or bought it from a flower shop. Girls who got their hair done for a good price suggested going to Ascend Salon in Fremont. They are really good at dying hair, cutting hair, and coming up with cute hairstyles. Guys who looked for a good for a decent price suggested going on buy4lesstuxedo.com, where free shipping is provided on purchases over $99. Tuxedo packages start at $124. Getting a rental for both ladies and gentlemen was also a good idea, since the dress or tux would only be worn once. They even have an 4.5 average rating on Yelp. There is a limousine service at Hayward, known as Innovative Limousine Services. If anyone was willing to book for $175 dollars an hour for a H-2 hummer stretch limousine able to fit in 20, this would be the place to rent. It’s good to get a group of friends going together for the ride as it they can split up the price.
These sites, strategies, and suggestions helped many go to prom without creating a huge dent in their wallets.
