Formal to be held on Dec. 4 at Gilroy Gardens

This year’s Winter Formal, themed “City of Stars,” will take place at Gilroy Gardens on Dec. 4.

Because the venue will be off-campus instead of in the gym, ticket prices will increase from previous years to a starting price of $120 with ASB and $130 without ASB.

Winter Formal, themed “City of Stars,” will take place at Gilroy Gardens on Dec. 4 from 7-10:30 p.m. Attendees will be able to go on rides and guests are permitted.

Although there had been debate between the administration and students on admission of outside guests, the district’s COVID-19 Task Force ultimately decided that guests would be permitted entry if they provide proof of full vaccination; a negative COVID-19 test will not be accepted. Guest prices will be the same as ticket prices without ASB.

Because the dance only allows a maximum of 545 people, the first day of sales on Oct. 25 will only be open to the senior class so that all who want to attend will be able to. The ticket prices for the weeks of Oct. 25, Nov. 1 and Nov. 8 will be $120 with ASB and $130 without.

For the weeks of Nov. 15, Nov. 22 and Nov. 29-30, the price will increase to $130 with ASB and $140 without. Tickets will not be sold at the door and, unlike the Homecoming Dance, tickets will also not be sold on the SHS webstore.
