Unfortunately I have to disagree with Cole Jolovich about the Tongue River High School Prom. The Grand March was filled up and amusing but the dance was not that exciting. For the beginning of the dance, popular songs were being played and everyone was dancing. When people started to request songs the DJ started to refuse everyone who talked to him. We still carried on with our dancing and tried to have a good time. He started to play slow songs for a while. At one point, he played eight slow songs and by the fourth one, a few pairs were out on the dance floor. I heard students complaining about how much this DJ was horrible at the job that he was "trying" to do. I complained excessively and so did most of my friends. Most of us made our way to the food stand or stood outside to talk. We made several attempts to dance again and have fun but it all failed because of the choice of songs by the DJ. We still tried to request songs but he was to stubborn and strict on what music was going to be played. He brought up the fact that most of the songs that he had were not appropriate for the school dance. In time, almost everyone was fed up with him that the dance floor was almost empty with an hour still left. Some students even left the dance and would come back in time for the after party. Soon the dance floor was empty and everyone was unsatisfied and looked to the after party for some fun and excitement. Cole Jolovich said that the dance was a blast but I definitely have to disagree. It was not a blast in sense of fun but a blast in sense of failure. He also stated that it needed a little bit of work but it actually needed allot of work.
