End of Year Celebration
A silent disco is an event where people dance to music listened to on wireless headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast via a radio transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by the participants. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to nothing.
This is for all 9th -12th graders, but no outside guests.
Friday, May 6th
7:00pm-10:00pm
$25 per person
The theme is Neon/Glow in the Dark.
