The Macon East Jr/Sr Prom was held Saturday, April 30 at 129 Coosa in Montgomery’s downtown Alley entertainment district. The junior class, prom committee members (Sami Nesbitt, Alex Wyrosdick, Rai Pritchett, and Cadey Brown), and prom sponsor Jennifer Harris worked all year to plan an evening of fun and dancing. Taking their inspiration from Vincent van Gogh’s 1889 painting, this year’s prom theme was Starry Night. The banquet hall at 129 Coosa was decorated with a replica of Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” along with stars and twinkling lights suspended from the venue’s exposed beams. Couples enjoyed having their picture taken sitting in the eight foot crescent moon. Members of the Class of 2016 and their escorts were recognized at the senior lead outs, as parents snapped pictures to commemorate the moment. DJ Ziggy kept everyone on the dance floor until the announcement of the 2016 Prom King and Queen – Mr. Patrick Brown and Miss Ally Slaton.
