The principal (David Dineen-Porter) welcomed the 2011 class, mostly well-dressed young men and women, of "Def Leppard" High to the venue. After some scatter-shot jokes, he made way for Chad (Gentleman Reg), the handsomest boy in school. Chad's 3-piece band played melancholic tunes that suited his alto voice. Highlights included We're In A Thunderstorm and covers Wild Heart and If It Makes You Happy.
Then it was time for the announcement of the Prom King and Queen. Chad won Prom King and Allie Hughes was Prom Queen. This was quite a coincidence since this night was billed as Allie Hughes' Prom Queen Dream. Allie Hughes glided onstage in a wonderful daze with her band. Even the two girls from Rouge who tormented her through high school became her back-up singers. Allie sang her wild mix of pop songs. It was only appropriate that Chad came on to sing Not The Stars with his Queen. But the dream turned into a nightmare when he started playing tonsil hockey with another guy. Allie descended into madness, complete with running blood (but no buckets though), for a few more songs. She ended her dream writhing on stage with her cover of Britney Spears' Toxic. The student newspaper has more coverage with photos as well as the school's AV team.
The evening ended with Christian cover band Pop Salvation (Dwayne Gretzky) leading the student body through some fun tunes including Beatles, Marvin Gaye, Billy Joel, et al.
