SoundWaters Tall Ships Ball

This May, Relive the Greatest Night of Your Life

What?

Think about your senior prom and the memories come flooding back, some fun, some embarrassing and some downright cringeworthy.  Well, you can forget those memories because we’re gettin’ a do-over this May at the SoundWaters High School Senior Prom.

We’re going to relive the greatest night of our lives: our first formal dance, but this time at SoundWaters High School.  Formal gowns, big hair and puffy shoulders for the girls, colorful rented tuxedos, cummerbunds (yes, that’s the correct spelling), ruffled shirts and clip-on bow ties for the boys.  Awkward slow dancing, strict chaperones (“leave room for the Holy Ghost!”) and, of course, prom photos.  And what’s prom without a theme?  Our prom committee selected Forever Young as the perfect ode to our youth.

So pin a flower on your date, lock arms and step into the SHS gymnasium for a party you’ll never forget.  The gym will be decorated, the food will be delicious, and the band will be ready to rock.

And the punch bowl will be spiked, we promise.

Why?

No awkwardness here. Your generous support allows SoundWaters to provide hands-on environmental science and sailing education to over 25,000 students throughout Connecticut and New York. Over 60% of the students we teach receive some form of scholarship assistance and we are committed to ensuring that no child or school will ever be excluded from a SoundWaters program due to the inability to pay.
