Democracy Federal Credit Union invites you to dance the night away with us as we host a free virtual prom for high schools students! As with many cancellations due to COVID-19, proms and graduations across the country have been cancelled, leaving students unable to enjoy the high school traditions that they look forward to throughout the year. Democracy FCU is standing up to this COVID-19 shutdown and throwing a virtual prom for students to attend from home!
An event that has long been a staple in American high schools since the 19th century, prom is a night devoted to hours of preparation with shopping for the perfect formal dress, renting the snazziest tux, working extra hours to arrive to prom in style, and reserving the best table at the trendiest restaurant with countless prom pictures by Mom and Dad on the front lawn. And, Democracy FCU is ready to celebrate with the class of 2020 in virtual style!
Democracy FCU and DJ J. Soul will host the virtual proms via ZOOM for local schools who fall in our field of membership. We reserve the below dates for the benefit of the following schools: May 23 or May 30 for H.D. Woodson, T.C. Williams. Bishop McNamara and Suitland High School students. Democracy FCU Members can also celebrate prom with us on Saturday, May 30 from 8 – 10 PM. Prom goers will enjoy the sounds of DJ J. Soul who has previously donated his time in hosting virtual proms across the United States. Follow DJ J. Soul @sdschooldj. DJ J. Soul will be taking requests live and offering up an upbeat selection of music and fun group dances!
What would be a night of prom without the customary prom dinner? To add to the evening’s excitement, students can enter to win a dinner delivery the night of the dance! Students are encouraged to dress in their prom formal wear enjoy social distancing with their friends from their living rooms! They will also be able to enjoy the traditional crowning of the school’s Prom King and Queen.
Share your prom pictures with by posting on social media and using #DFCUProm2020.
Those wishing to attend will need a WiFi device. For specific schools, additional details will be sent to students via their school’s Administrators. For Democracy members, visit democracyfcu.org for details.
