The 2021 Prom for the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. took place Saturday night at Northside Middle School.
BCSC communications coordinator Josh Burnett said that nearly 800 tickets were sold for the event, which had an “Enchanted Garden” theme.
This year’s prom was modified for COVID-19 safety, utilizing outdoor areas and protocols such as mask-wearing. The event’s website also stated that slow dancing would not be allowed “in order to comply with social distancing.”
The high schools’ prom kings and queens were crowned as follows:
Columbus North: Jayce Abraham and Lucy Beck
Columbus East: Pranav Kumarasubramanian and Anna Combs
CSA New Tech: Harrison Thompson and Bre Dearing
Another “winner,” of sorts, was CSA New Tech senior Jose Trinidad Noriega, who created a music video asking Taylor Swift to prom. While the pop star was a no-show at the dance, a lookalike visited him at school last week impersonating the famous singer.
Last year’s prom was canceled due to COVID-19. In 2019, the BCSC prom drew a record crowd of more than 1,200 attendees at The Commons.
