I'm working on a YA contemporary where the two main characters decide to help with prom committee. I really like this plot idea BUT - I've never actually helped with a prom committee or any kind of dance when I was in high school. I didn't even go to prom.
My main questions are: Would some schools have fundraisers to help with the costs of prom?
How early would the prom committee start working on the prom during the school year?
Other than a theme, what are some things the prom committee would need to plan/figure out? Venue? Do they help pick the dinner options, etc? Is it similar to planning a wedding when it comes to venue stuff? (Although...I also have zero experience with wedding planning.)
Would picking a DJ be part of their work? What other kind of entertainment could there be? A live band?
Are the prom committee the people who would go set up and decorate the venue before the big night?
How much do prom tickets cost nowadays?
Are prom-posals still happening?
Thanks!
