Tickets for Snowcoming will be on sale from Jan. 22-31. The dance will held in the Commons on Feb. 1 from 7-10 p.m. This year’s theme, similar to the
past few years, is Neon Knights. According to StuCo Parliamentarian Kaitlin Eifert, students like the black light and neon theme, so StuCo will be bringing back the Tekno bubbles and glow-in-the-dark body paint. There will be more glow-in-the-dark decorations, and students can submit song requests via Twitter.
“It’s definitely an experience that you should have in high school,” StuCo Vice President Krista Burris said. “It’s a fun and more carefree environment.”
In 2003, Snowcoming was called Coronation, and formal attire was required. Due to low attendance, StuCo decided to change Coronation to Snowcoming, and the first one was a success. According to StuCo Sponsor Jani Wilkens, 10 years later, Snowcoming is still a big hit. To prepare for the dance, StuCo must take care of many different aspects of the dance such as the decorations, tickets, and court.
“I think it’s just something fun on the weekend for students to do,” Wilkens said. “It’s a fun event for students to have a good time with their friends.”
