Although Winter Formal is usually held in the Large Gym, this year’s dance will be held at the Children’s Discovery Museum in San Jose. Because the Sadie Hawkins Dance usually held during Spring Fling has been canceled this year, there will be no second-semester dance for underclassmen.

“Underclassmen only get two dances, [Homecoming and Winter Formal], and Homecoming is pretty casual, so we wanted to do something nicer for formal,” sophomore dance commissioner Lillian Zeng said.

Zeng also said that taking the dance off-campus gives the commission more possibilities for decorations. Since buses to the venue have already been booked, a maximum of 350 students can attend the dance.

“This could be very problematic since 372 people went to Homecoming, and generally more people will attend Winter Formal than Homecoming,” Zeng said.

However, if students buy at least 200 tickets by Nov. 26, the office will consider raising the cap on attendance to 400 or 450.

Because of this, Zeng advised that those who wish to attend to the dance buy their tickets as soon as possible.

In order to encourage dance attendance, ASB will again host an asking competition, where students take videos or photographs of askings and post them on social media under a certain hashtag. The couple with the best asking will be reimbursed for their tickets.

Tickets will be sold until starting Nov. 19 for $30 with ASB and $35 without. The price will increase by $5 each week after until either Dec. 4 or when the tickets sell out, whichever comes first.
