Prom night!
P
rom night is a very special night for high school
students in the USA. It’s a formal party in their last
year of school. They sometimes travel to the prom in
limousines and then they dance all evening with their friends.
Students always wear special clothes for prom. Girls usually
wear beautiful, formal dresses and they carry flowers.
Boys usually wear tuxedos. But some students don’t wear
traditional prom clothes. They wear clothes made of Duck
Tape® to participate in a competition, Stuck at Prom®! The
first prize is a $10,000 scholarship for each participant and
$5,000 for the school!
As you can see in the picture, Lara and Cole aren’t wearing
traditional prom clothes. They are Stuck at Prom® winners and
their clothes are made of Duck Tape®! Cole isn’t wearing a
normal tuxedo. He’s wearing a black and purple blazer, black
pants, a purple vest, and a black tie. And it’s all made of tape!
Lara is smiling and she’s wearing a beautiful dress. Of course
it’s made of the special tape. Is she wearing conventional
accessories? No, she isn’t! They’re also made of tape!
